About April Cottage
April Cottage is a two-bedroom detached house in Ashen, Sudbury, Sudbury (CO10 8JN). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 763 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused, 1 pending. An active application for tree works is awaiting a decision.
