1 Bulsworthy Cottages, Launceston, PL15 9LH
About 1 Bulsworthy Cottages
1 Bulsworthy Cottages is a semi-detached house in Launceston (PL15 9LH). 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 (August 2015) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in July 2015 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 101), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since April 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £310,000 sits 352.6% above the 1999 sale of £68,500. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 113 m² it's 17.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (96 m² median across 5 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs).
