Overview

About Fern Cottage

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

Fern Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in St Agnes (TR5 0QZ). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since August 2012. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Period features are noted in the property record.

Today's modelled estimate of £511,000 sits 74.7% above the 2013 sale of £292,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£232/sq ft) was about 18.6% below the postcode norm. Last changed hands 13 years ago, in March 2013.
