About Cobthorn

Cobthorn is a two-bedroom detached house in Northwich (CW8 4AP). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. At 65 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across Cobthorn (62–65 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (49 versus a best of 76). The latest certificate (June 2014) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
