About 1 Cottam Drive

It has a recorded floor area of 200 m² (around 2155 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2010) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72).
