Bailiffs Cottage is a semi-detached house in Chiddingfold, Godalming, Godalming (GU8 4TA). It has a recorded floor area of 169 m² (around 1819 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
