The Cottage, Portsdown Hill Road, Drayton, Portsmouth, PO6 1BE

The Cottage is a five-bedroom detached house in Drayton, Portsmouth, Portsmouth (PO6 1BE). It has a recorded floor area of 537 m² (around 5780 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since February 2012. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views, outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 537 m² the property is well over the postcode median (237 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £1,662,000 sits 76.8% above the 2014 sale of £940,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£163/sq ft) was about 52% below the postcode norm. Last sold in May 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2003.
