About 4 Hill Cottages
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Hill Cottages is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Shipmeadow, Beccles, Beccles (NR34 8HJ). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 693 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2011) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot.
