It has a recorded floor area of 161 m² (around 1733 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows an F (score 30), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
