About Dower House Cottage
Dower House Cottage is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Cranbrook (TN17 2QA). It has a recorded floor area of 143 m² (around 1542 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (October 2011) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (March 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
