About Lime Tree Cottage
Lime Tree Cottage is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bartley, Southampton, Southampton (SO40 2LP). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 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 conservatory. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (October 2020) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 65), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg.
Untraded for 31 years, with the last transfer in October 1995. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £405,000 sits 385.9% above the 1995 sale of £83,350. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£77/sq ft) was about 70.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2000. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.
