Local market context
Morthen Lodge is a four-bedroom detached house in Morthen, Rotherham, Rotherham (S66 9JL). It has a recorded floor area of 146 m² (around 1572 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (October 2021) shows an F (score 30), 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 oil. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
At 146 m² it sits well below the postcode median (232 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£337/sq ft) was about 107.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold October 2022 for £530,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
