Overview

About The Cottages

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

The Cottages is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in King's Lynn (PE32 2AX). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 100 m² it sits well below the postcode median (150 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Sold March 2021 for £247,500. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. Across 1996–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £295,000 is 19.2% above the 2021 sale price.
