Marsh Cottage is a detached house in Aston, Nantwich, Nantwich (CW5 8DG). It has a recorded floor area of 234 m² (around 2519 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2018) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in May 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since.
