Overview

About Rose Cottage

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

Rose Cottage is a detached house in Swaby, Alford, Alford (LN13 0BH). It has a recorded floor area of 200 m² (around 2153 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an F (score 28), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 4 certificates since April 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 56), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
