About 5 High Street

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

It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C.

Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 2-band jump.
