About Mushroom Cottage
Mushroom Cottage is a five-bedroom detached house in Bilting, Ashford, Ashford (TN25 4HB). It has a recorded floor area of 136 m² (around 1459 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe and attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows an F (score 30), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 42). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
6 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs).
