Overview

About Broghas Cottage

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

Broghas Cottage is a detached house in St Agnes (TR5 0RS). It has a recorded floor area of 161 m² (around 1733 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2023) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 63). Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since October 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 161 m² the property is well over the postcode median (118 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £592,000 sits 97.3% above the 2009 sale of £300,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£173/sq ft) was about 37.7% below the postcode norm. 6 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, an annexe and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
