Bluebelle Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Southminster (CM0 7BT). It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1399 sq ft) and council tax band E. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 104), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
