About Castle Hill Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Castle Hill Cottage is a semi-detached house in Cattistock, Dorchester, Dorchester (DT2 0JH). It has a recorded floor area of 170 m² (around 1830 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
