About 1 Crossbow Cottages
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Crossbow Cottages is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Sotherton, Beccles, Beccles (NR34 8ES). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1283 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows a G (score 13), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 27). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since June 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 12% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £222,000 sits 70.8% above the 2009 sale of £130,000. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2021.
