Overview

About Rockhurst Cottage

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

Rockhurst Cottage is a detached house in Fownhope, Hereford, Hereford (HR1 4NX). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since September 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 97), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
