Overview

About 2 Tarn Cottage

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

2 Tarn Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Eagland Hill, Preston, Preston (PR3 6BA). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft). It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include notable views. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a C (score 74). The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since August 2015. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 117 m² the property is well over the postcode median (70 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 78% of similar EPCs). Across 2015–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £342,000 is 12.1% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£242/sq ft) was about 82.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold April 2022 for £305,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
