About Parva Cottage
Parva Cottage is a detached house in Duncote, Towcester, Towcester (NN12 8AH). It has a recorded floor area of 236 m² (around 2540 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 236 m² the property is well over the postcode median (148 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
