About Bodkin Cottage

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

Bodkin Cottage is a semi-detached house in Forton, Preston, Preston (PR3 0AA). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a C (score 71). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 89). The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£154/sq ft) was about 33.8% below the postcode norm.

Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
