About Scudamore Cottage
Scudamore Cottage is a detached house in Orcop, Hereford, Hereford (HR2 8EP). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1335 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in July 2011 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since.

The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2011–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 26.2% per year.
