About 2 Valley Farm Cottages

It has a recorded floor area of 262 m² (around 2820 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2022) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in February 2014 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since.
