About Corner Cottage
Corner Cottage is a detached house in Polperro, Looe, Looe (PL13 2QZ). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 542 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows a G (score 13), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 25). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since December 2003 — that's 22 years off the open market, well above the local norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2014. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £286,000 is 41.6% above the 2003 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£373/sq ft) was about 24.8% below the postcode norm.
