2 Elm Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Elmsett, Ipswich, Ipswich (IP7 6LU). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1192 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). Main heating runs on oil.
