Overview

About Chestnut Cottage

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

Chestnut Cottage is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Woodlands, Southampton, Southampton (SO40 7GX). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2012) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 96 m² it's 25% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (128 m² median across 9 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £481,000 is 35.5% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£344/sq ft) was about 34.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in October 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
