Get startedCanal Cottage is a detached house in East Challow, Wantage, Wantage (OX12 9SS). It has a recorded floor area of 135 m² (around 1453 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since August 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.
