About Sparrow Grove Farm House
Sparrow Grove Farm House is a detached house in Moston, Sandbach, Sandbach (CW11 3QH). It has a recorded floor area of 169 m² (around 1820 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows an F (score 27), near the bottom of the EPC scale. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was G, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 59), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Past consents include an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in October 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
