About 2 Deanery Cottage

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

2 Deanery Cottage is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Sonning, Reading, Reading (RG4 6UP). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band E. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs.

Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88).

8 planning records sit against the property, 7 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include new windows and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 79% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £550,000 is 13.4% above the 2021 sale price.
