About Lavender Cottage

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

Lavender Cottage is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Plaxtol, Sevenoaks, Sevenoaks (TN15 0QB). It has a recorded floor area of 142 m² (around 1524 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. Tenure is freehold. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (March 2011) shows a G (score 13), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 22). Main heating runs on electricity.
