About 2 Langtree Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Langtree Cottage is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Checkendon, Reading, Reading (RG8 0SP). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 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 outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (January 2025) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
Held since September 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm.

Today's modelled estimate of £476,000 is 40% above the 2009 sale price.
