About Prospect Cottage

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Prospect Cottage is a five-bedroom detached house in Longridge, Preston, Preston (PR3 3SL). It has a recorded floor area of 239 m² (around 2573 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (January 2013) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
