About Winston Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Winston Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Gillingham, Beccles, Beccles (NR34 0HH). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1009 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2010) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory and attached land beyond the plot.
