Overview

About Thatched Cottage

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

Thatched Cottage is a two-bedroom detached house in Pangbourne, Reading, Reading (RG8 8JH). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 868 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (October 2009) shows an F (score 26), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 41). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since September 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. At 81 m² it's 16.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (97 m² median across 4 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £473,000 sits 51.6% above the 2010 sale of £312,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£360/sq ft) was about 48.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, a porch and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
