About Carpenters Cottage

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

It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D.

When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since.
