Overview

About 2 Leonards Cottage

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

2 Leonards Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Kirton Holme, Boston, Boston (PE20 1SQ). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2023) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 109), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe and outbuildings.

Held since June 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 25.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £262,000 is 19.9% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£333/sq ft) was about 85.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 61 m² it's 23.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (80 m² median across 6 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2017.
