Overview

About Bedford Cottage

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

Bedford Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Woodlands, Southampton, Southampton (SO40 7GP). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2006–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £636,000 sits 59% above the 2012 sale of £400,000. At 99 m² it sits well below the postcode median (146 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include partial demolition and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in October 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
