Yew Tree Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Long Itchington, Southam, Southam (CV47 9PQ). It has a recorded floor area of 256 m² (around 2756 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. The latest certificate (October 2012) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
