Overview

About Laurel Cottage

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

Laurel Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in King's Lynn (PE32 1SG). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 68), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 74 m² it sits well below the postcode median (114 m² across 25 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £199,000 sits 77.3% above the 2014 sale of £112,250. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 12 years ago, in March 2014.
