About Low Side Cottage
Low Side Cottage is a semi-detached house in Askham, Penrith, Penrith (CA10 2PF). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a G (score 17), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 25). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
