Overview

About South Cottage

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

South Cottage is a semi-detached house in Donnington, Newbury, Newbury (RG14 3AG). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 97 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Last sold in November 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: partial demolition approved in 2011. Past consents include partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1998–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £486,000 is 29.9% above the 2014 sale price.
