About Bramley Cottage
Bramley Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Cumberworth, Alford, Alford (LN13 9LF). It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1481 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (November 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 50). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 138 m² the property is well over the postcode median (99 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
