About 283 Orphanage Road

It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 3-band jump.
