Overview

About Laugherne Hill Cottage

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

Laugherne Hill Cottage is a detached house in Wichenford, Worcester, Worcester (WR6 6YB). It has a recorded floor area of 316 m² (around 3401 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a G (score 12), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it F (March 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 316 m² the property is well over the postcode median (92 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £652,000 sits 107% above the 2014 sale of £315,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£93/sq ft) was about 69.8% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in May 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
