Overview

About Keepers Cottage

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

Keepers Cottage is a detached house in Boyton, Launceston, Launceston (PL15 9RL). It has a recorded floor area of 195 m² (around 2099 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (June 2024) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since August 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Good to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since September 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. At 195 m² it's 18.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (165 m² median across 10 EPCs). Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £625,000 is 35.9% above the 2007 sale price.
