A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
The Cottage is a detached house in Guildford (GU4 7QR). It has a recorded floor area of 211 m² (around 2269 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67).
