Overview

About Fern Cottage

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

Fern Cottage is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in King's Lynn (PE32 1SF). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 654 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Held since December 2009 — that's 16 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 2005–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £162,000 sits 55.8% above the 2009 sale of £104,000. At 61 m² it sits well below the postcode median (115 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
