Overview

About 1 Stone Chimney Cottage

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

1 Stone Chimney Cottage is a semi-detached house in Catforth, Preston, Preston (PR4 0JA). It has a recorded floor area of 136 m² (around 1464 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 98), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
