Manor Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Ellisfield, Basingstoke, Basingstoke (RG25 2QE). It has a recorded floor area of 199 m² (around 2142 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G.

Main heating runs on oil.

Held since May 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 199 m² the property is well over the postcode median (111 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £1,044,000 sits 221.2% above the 1998 sale of £325,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£152/sq ft) was about 59.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
