Overview

About Violet Cottage

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

Violet Cottage is a semi-detached house in Apethorpe, Peterborough, Peterborough (PE8 5DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a G (score 18), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to E (score 54), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since September 2002 — that's 24 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £334,000 sits 164.6% above the 2002 sale of £126,250. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£104/sq ft) was about 56.8% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2005.
