About Orchard Cottage
Orchard Cottage is a mid-terrace house in Milburn, Penrith, Penrith (CA10 1TN). It has a recorded floor area of 213 m² (around 2293 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on dual fuel. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 213 m² the property is well over the postcode median (79 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
