Overview

About Marsh Cottage

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

Marsh Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Old Romney, Romney Marsh, Romney Marsh (TN29 0HP). It has a recorded floor area of 152 m² (around 1635 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows a G (score 7), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 36). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £516,000 sits 63.8% above the 2009 sale of £315,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£193/sq ft) was about 22.3% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 152 m² it sits well below the postcode median (251 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
