About 70a
70a is a five-bedroom detached house in Caxton, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB23 3PQ).

Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
