About Steps Cottage

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

Steps Cottage is a detached house in Stow On The Wold, Cheltenham, Cheltenham (GL54 1DL). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 417 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2003-2006. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82).
