About Orestone Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Orestone Cottage is a detached house in Fuge, Dartmouth, Dartmouth (TQ6 0LL). It has a recorded floor area of 221 m² (around 2379 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since October 2011.

Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
