About 5 Rose Cottages
5 Rose Cottages is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in St. Mary Hoo, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 8RL). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
