About Barn Cottage

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

Barn Cottage is a detached house in Barkham, Wokingham, Wokingham (RG41 4TG). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1127 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1991-1995. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 105 m² it sits well below the postcode median (217 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2001–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £966,000 is 38% above the 2010 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£621/sq ft) was about 140.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
