Overview

About Homestead Cottage

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

Homestead Cottage is a semi-detached house in Hinton, Chippenham, Chippenham (SN14 8HF). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 91), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 92 m² it sits well below the postcode median (184 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Last sold in October 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. Today's modelled estimate of £426,000 is 49.5% above the 2013 sale price.
