Overview

About Ivy Cottage

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

Ivy Cottage is a detached house in Snelson, Macclesfield, Macclesfield (SK11 9BN). It has a recorded floor area of 190 m² (around 2045 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (October 2024) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 92), a 3-band jump.

It hasn't traded since April 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 190 m² the property is well over the postcode median (145 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, a conservatory and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 18.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,169,000 is 34.4% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£425/sq ft) was about 39.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
