Overview

About Hawthorn Cottage

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

Hawthorn Cottage is a two-bedroom detached house in King's Lynn (PE32 2NB). It has a recorded floor area of 175 m² (around 1884 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in January 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 175 m² the property is well over the postcode median (78 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £376,000 sits 121.2% above the 2009 sale of £170,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£90/sq ft) was about 36.9% below the postcode norm.
