About Garden Cottage
Garden Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Burgh St. Peter, Beccles, Beccles (NR34 0BU). It has a recorded floor area of 215 m² (around 2314 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe and outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
At 215 m² the property is well over the postcode median (163 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused.
