About Gull Cottage

It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 983 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. Other recorded features include outbuildings. The latest certificate (August 2011) shows a G (score 3), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on bottled lpg.
