Old Rectory Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in King's Lynn (PE31 6TW). It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1399 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on oil.
