About 4 Bears Cottage

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

4 Bears Cottage is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Browston, Great Yarmouth, Great Yarmouth (NR31 9DP). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
