About 14 Horridge Cottages

14 Horridge Cottages is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Ashford, Barnstaple, Barnstaple (EX31 4BY). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1362 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2011) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve.
