About 1 Park Cottages
1 Park Cottages is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Ince, Chester, Chester (CH2 4NS). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows an F (score 30), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 42). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a loft. Period features are noted in the property record.
