About 1 Whitebarns Cottage

It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. Main heating runs on oil.

Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
