About 6 Gate Cottages
6 Gate Cottages is a mid-terrace house in Chorleywood, Rickmansworth, Rickmansworth (WD3 5LW). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2013) shows a G (score 18), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 1997, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £377,000 sits 842.5% above the 1997 sale of £40,000.
