About Pond View Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Pond View Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Toft Monks, Beccles, Beccles (NR34 0FR). It has a recorded floor area of 158 m² (around 1697 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2010) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since August 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £418,000 sits 224% above the 1999 sale of £129,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£76/sq ft) was about 67.3% below the postcode norm.
