About 1 Black Horse Hill
1 Black Horse Hill is a four-bedroom detached house in Appleby Magna, Swadlincote, Swadlincote (DE12 7AQ). It has a recorded floor area of 228 m² (around 2450 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2011) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since January 2010. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.
