About Hill Cottage
Hill Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Tadworth (KT20 7JX). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 4-band jump.
