About 3 Myrtle Cottage

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

3 Myrtle Cottage is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Catforth, Preston, Preston (PR4 0HP). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 694 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2011) shows an F (score 28), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 43). Main heating runs on oil.
