About 3 Railway Cottages
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Railway Cottages is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in King's Lynn (PE31 6DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2017) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
