About Charlie Wilcox Cottage
Charlie Wilcox Cottage is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Polperro, Looe, Looe (PL13 2QZ). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 543 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a balcony, notable views and outbuildings. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since March 2010. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and main heating went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 43). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
