Overview

About Glebe Cottage

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

Glebe Cottage is a semi-detached house in Kidmore End, Reading, Reading (RG4 9BB). It has a recorded floor area of 143 m² (around 1539 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in February 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 143 m² it sits well below the postcode median (298 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 3 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 1 refused. Today's modelled estimate of £841,000 is 37.9% above the 2008 sale price.
