It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.

About Oak Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Oak Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Morthen, Rotherham, Rotherham (S66 9JL). It has a recorded floor area of 232 m² (around 2497 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Most recent transfer was August 2025 at £790,000 — fresh data. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2026. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 232 m² it's 15.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (201 m² median across 7 EPCs). Across 1997–2025, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.9% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£316/sq ft) was about 101.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Oak Cottage is modelled from its 232 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in S66 9JL. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 4 sales are recorded for Oak Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Oak Cottage was lodged in June 2016 at band F and expired in June 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Oak Cottage. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from S66 9JL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Oak Cottage is in council tax band G. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
