Pendleton Cottage is a detached house in Hambledon, Godalming, Godalming (GU8 4HJ). It has a recorded floor area of 274 m² (around 2950 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (August 2010) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
