Overview

About Brickyard Cottage

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

Brickyard Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Norton, Worcester, Worcester (WR5 2PR). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1292 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £372,000 sits 61.7% above the 2016 sale of £230,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£178/sq ft) was about 38.1% below the postcode norm. At 120 m² it's 19.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (100 m² median across 8 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Last sold in March 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2005.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Brickyard Cottage is modelled from its 120 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WR5 2PR. 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 Brickyard 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 Brickyard Cottage was lodged in May 2014 at band F and expired in May 2024, 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. 1 application is matched to Brickyard 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 8 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WR5 2PR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Brickyard Cottage is in council tax band D. 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.
