About South Meadow Cottage

It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.

Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
