Overview

About 61 Top Cottages

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

61 Top Cottages is a mid-terrace house in Cressbrook, Buxton, Buxton (SK17 8SX). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 846 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows an F (score 29), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 40). The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since June 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. Today's modelled estimate of £303,000 sits 68.3% above the 2009 sale of £180,000. At 79 m² it's 20% larger than the typical home in the postcode (66 m² median across 16 EPCs).
