Lea Green Cottage, Christchurch Road, Downton, Lymington, SO41 0LA

Lea Green Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Downton, Lymington, Lymington (SO41 0LA). It has a recorded floor area of 147 m² (around 1579 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since November 2005 — that's 21 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 7 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 2 refused, 1 pending. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. An active application for an extension is awaiting a decision. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Today's modelled estimate of £615,000 sits 146% above the 2005 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£158/sq ft) was about 44.5% below the postcode norm. At 147 m² it's 27.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (115 m² median across 11 EPCs).
