About Molyneux Cottage
Molyneux Cottage is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Polperro, Looe, Looe (PL13 2QR). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 609 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows an F (score 25), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
