About Darley Cottage
Darley Cottage is a mid-terrace house in Looe (PL13 1DD). It has a recorded floor area of 36 m² (around 387 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
