Overview

About 3 Honeycroft Cottages

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

3 Honeycroft Cottages is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Upper Basildon, Reading, Reading (RG8 8LR). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 55), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on bottled lpg. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since January 2001 — that's 26 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £517,000 sits 204.1% above the 2001 sale of £170,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£135/sq ft) was about 66.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
