About 55 Church Road
55 Church Road is a mid-terrace house in Combe Down, Bath, Bath (BA2 5JQ). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. At 58 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (58–202 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 17 units on file. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
