Overview

About 1 Model Cottages

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

1 Model Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Arborfield Cross, Reading, Reading (RG2 9PH). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1999–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 5% per year. Sold February 2022 for £390,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
