5 Pen Y Bryn is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Pontycymer, Bridgend, Bridgend (CF32 8EP). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 807 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on dual fuel. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
