About Rose Cottage

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

Rose Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Layham, Ipswich, Ipswich (IP7 5JZ). It has a recorded floor area of 188 m² (around 2026 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from September 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
