Get startedGrace Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Bude (EX23 8LH). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1356 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band C. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (September 2021) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since September 2010. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 87).
