Get startedProvidence Cottage is a semi-detached house in Carthew, St. Austell, St Austell (PL26 8XG). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1335 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2012) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in February 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from September 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 124 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 82% of similar EPCs). 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
Providence Cottage's carbon output runs well above what efficient homes in the postcode produce.
