About Church Cottage

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

Church Cottage is a detached house in Brimpton, Reading, Reading (RG7 4TJ). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a G (score 20), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
