Overview

About Mermaid Cottage

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

Mermaid Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Bourton, Gillingham, Gillingham (SP8 5DE). It has a recorded floor area of 168 m² (around 1808 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band F. The property has an EV charger on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (August 2020) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). Main heating runs on oil.
