About Home Farm Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Home Farm Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Great Witley, Worcester, Worcester (WR6 6JJ). It has a recorded floor area of 227 m² (around 2443 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (August 2021) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 62), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. Period features are noted in the property record.
Today's modelled estimate of £1,073,000 is 10.6% below the 2022 sale of £1,200,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£491/sq ft) was about 111.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 227 m² the property is well over the postcode median (159 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2023. Last sale on file: £1,200,000 in July 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 Home Farm Cottage is modelled from its 227 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WR6 6JJ. 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 Home Farm 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 Home Farm Cottage was lodged in August 2021 at band F and is valid until August 2031. 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 Home Farm 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 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 11 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WR6 6JJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Home Farm Cottage is in council tax band F. 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.
