About Marthas Cottage

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Marthas Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Barnby, Beccles, Beccles (NR34 7QT). It has a recorded floor area of 175 m² (around 1884 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 175 m² the property is well over the postcode median (69 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.

Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1997–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.7% per year.
