About 2 St Michaels Cottages
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 St Michaels Cottages is a mid-terrace house in Norwich (NR5 9AA). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.
