About Rose Cottage

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

Rose Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Feering, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 9RH). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (August 2011); the latest reading is one band lower.

The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 101), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.
