About 1 School Cottages

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

1 School Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cliffe Woods, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 8ER). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 951 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2011) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 56).
