Your note and figure are shown publicly on this page.
The estimate for Dutton Cottage is modelled from its 189 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR3 3XX. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
