About Marthas Cottage
Marthas Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Barnby, Beccles, Beccles (NR34 7QT). It has a recorded floor area of 175 m² (around 1884 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot.

At 175 m² the property is well over the postcode median (69 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
