About 1 Church Cottages
1 Church Cottages is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Taplow, Maidenhead, Maidenhead (SL6 0HE). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since August 2013. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
