Overview

About 1 Fountains Yard

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

1 Fountains Yard is a mid-terrace house in Kirkby Stephen (CA17 4QL). It has a recorded floor area of 34 m² (around 366 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
