Overview

About Garden Cottage

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

Garden Cottage is a detached house in Keswick, Norwich, Norwich (NR4 6TZ). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2025) shows an F (score 25), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since November 2012. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while window efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Today's modelled estimate of £1,096,000 is 15.7% below the 2013 sale of £1,300,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,830/sq ft) was about 612.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 66 m² it sits well below the postcode median (132 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Last sold in November 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
