About Grove Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Grove Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Ellington, Huntingdon, Huntingdon (PE28 0AA). It has a recorded floor area of 143 m² (around 1539 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (September 2020) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since February 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62). Main heating runs on oil.
It hasn't traded since October 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 £516,000 sits 81.1% above the 2007 sale of £285,000. At 143 m² it sits well below the postcode median (248 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 5 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 2 refused.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Grove Cottage is modelled from its 143 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PE28 0AA. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Grove Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 5 applications are matched to Grove Cottage. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. Schools and stops are measured in a straight line from PE28 0AA. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Grove Cottage is in council tax band E. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
