About The Cottage

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

The Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Essington, Wolverhampton, Wolverhampton (WV11 2RE). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1336 sq ft) and council tax band A. 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. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (November 2009) shows an F (score 22), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from November 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
