Overview

About Rose Cottage

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

Rose Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Three Mile Cross, Reading, Reading (RG7 1AT). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
