Overview

About 1 School Cottages

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

1 School Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bradfield Southend, Reading, Reading (RG7 6HN). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 856 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2011) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 55). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £631,000 is 13.7% above the 2021 sale price. Last sale on file: £555,000 in September 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
