About 4 Cotton Meadow
4 Cotton Meadow is a detached house in Northampton (NN5 5PP). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2021) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78).
It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area.
