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

Somerset House is a one-bedroom detached house in Cheltenham (GL50 3QQ). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 481 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B.

Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
