About Coverley Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Coverley Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Ilketshall St. Andrew, Beccles, Beccles (NR34 8JB). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2016) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (August 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 97), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since July 2001, a hold of 25 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 £252,000 sits 404% above the 2001 sale of £50,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£45/sq ft) was about 55.4% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
