Overview

About Crofters Cottage

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

Crofters Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Holmesfield, Dronfield, Dronfield (S18 7XA). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in July 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since April 2011, a hold of 15 years that's notably long for the area. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent and conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Across 1997–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £556,000 is 37.3% above the 2011 sale price.
