About The Cottage
The Cottage is a semi-detached house in Camden, London, London (NW6 2QA). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
