About The Cottage

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

The Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Averham, Newark, Newark (NG23 5RA). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump.
