About Hill Cottage

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

Hill Cottage is a detached house in Bourton, Swindon, Swindon (SN6 8JA). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1206 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.
