About Primrose Cottage
Primrose Cottage is a detached house in Boddington, Cheltenham, Cheltenham (GL51 0TJ). It has a recorded floor area of 198 m² (around 2131 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
