About The Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
The Cottage is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Beccles (NR34 9TL). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2019) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump.
