About Sourton House

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

It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2012 onwards and council tax band C. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.

The latest certificate (March 2025) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (March 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£310/sq ft) was about 20.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold April 2022 for £200,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
