Overview

About Harbour Cottage

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

Harbour Cottage is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in St Ives (TR26 1LF). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (May 2021) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in April 2011 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82).

At 98 m² the property is well over the postcode median (62 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £363,000 sits 142% above the 2012 sale of £150,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£142/sq ft) was about 30.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2012. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in October 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
