Overview

About 1 Ivy Cottages

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

1 Ivy Cottages is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Castle Donington, Derby, Derby (DE74 2RL). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in March 2016 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Very Good and roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on bottled lpg. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
