Overview

About Elm Cottage

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

Elm Cottage is a detached house in North Thoresby, Grimsby, Grimsby (DN36 5QH). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1356 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). Main heating runs on oil. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
