About Christmas Cottage
Christmas Cottage is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Looe (PL13 1BA). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78).
