About Oakleigh Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Oakleigh Cottage is a two-bedroom detached house in Hallow, Worcester, Worcester (WR2 6PX). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 91), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory and attached land beyond the plot. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
At 66 m² it sits well below the postcode median (173 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £352,000 is 17.3% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£422/sq ft) was about 41.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £300,000 in June 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Oakleigh Cottage is modelled from its 66 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WR2 6PX. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Oakleigh Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Oakleigh Cottage was lodged in October 2013 at band E and expired in October 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to Oakleigh Cottage. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 26 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WR2 6PX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Oakleigh Cottage is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
