Overview

About Spring Cottage

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

Spring Cottage is a detached house in Suckley, Worcester, Worcester (WR6 5DP). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2022) shows a G (score 4), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on dual fuel.

Today's modelled estimate of £320,000 is 35.4% below the 2022 sale of £495,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£568/sq ft) was about 196.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 81 m² it sits well below the postcode median (257 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Most recent transfer: December 2022 at £495,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
