About Tile Cottage
Tile Cottage is a mid-terrace house in Sandhurst, Cranbrook, Cranbrook (TN18 5PQ). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on anthracite. The latest certificate is from March 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.
