About 3 Townhead Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Townhead Cottage is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Mary Tavy, Tavistock, Tavistock (PL19 9PR). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in April 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on bottled lpg. The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot.
Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in May 1999. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.
