Overview

About 3 Hillside Cottages

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

3 Hillside Cottages is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Speen, Newbury, Newbury (RG14 1RG). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The property has an EV charger on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 83 m² it sits well below the postcode median (166 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £245,000 is 12.6% above the 2024 sale price. Sold May 2024 for £217,500.
