About Grove Cottage
Grove Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Burston, Diss, Diss (IP22 5TH). It has a recorded floor area of 168 m² (around 1812 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E.

The latest certificate (November 2010) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
