Overview

About High Cross Cottage

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

High Cross Cottage is a semi-detached house in Carn Brea, Redruth, Redruth (TR15 3YX). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2022) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Today's modelled estimate of £269,000 is 14.6% below the 2021 sale of £315,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Most recent transfer: February 2021 at £315,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2021.
