Foyle Cottage, Red Lane, Oxted, RH8 0RT
About Foyle Cottage
Foyle Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Oxted (RH8 0RT). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 928 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 57), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot and a loft.
Held since September 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £1,136,000 sits 189.4% above the 1998 sale of £392,500. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2000.
