About 1 Morley Cottages

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

1 Morley Cottages is a five-bedroom detached house in Stevenage (SG2 7AA). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1593 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe and attached land beyond the plot. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 148 m² the property is well over the postcode median (113 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1999–2020, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.1% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£400/sq ft) was about 50.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold September 2020 for £637,500.
