About Wishing Well Cottage

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

It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1596 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an F (score 28), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 41). Main heating runs on oil.
