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

It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an F (score 25), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since May 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 3-band jump.
