About 2 Home Farm Cottage

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

2 Home Farm Cottage is an end-of-terrace house in Backford, Chester, Chester (CH2 4DG). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on wood logs.
