Overview

About Abbot Cottage

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Abbot Cottage is a semi-detached house in King's Lynn (PE32 1QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an F (score 29), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 70 m² it sits well below the postcode median (104 m² across 34 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs).
