Local market context
Thatched Cottage is a two-bedroom detached house in Pangbourne, Reading, Reading (RG8 8JH). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 868 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (October 2009) shows an F (score 26), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 41). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010.
