- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for 2 Gladstone Cottages. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC

The latest one for 2 Gladstone Cottages was lodged in July 2016 at band B and expired in July 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let.
