Overview

About Thatched Cottage

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

Thatched Cottage is a one-bedroom detached house in Mapledurham, Reading, Reading (RG4 7UF). It has a recorded floor area of 33 m² (around 350 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows a G (score 16), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on dual fuel. The latest certificate is from March 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

9 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 1 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 33 m² it sits well below the postcode median (119 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
