About 3 Hill Cottages
3 Hill Cottages is a semi-detached house in Shadingfield, Beccles, Beccles (NR34 8DF). It has a recorded floor area of 152 m² (around 1636 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2014) returns a high B (score 85), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The recommended improvements would push it to A (score 92). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £349,000 sits 359.2% above the 2007 sale of £76,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£46/sq ft) was about 60.4% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
