12 Farnham Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Auckland Park, Bishop Auckland, Bishop Auckland (DL14 8YR). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

At 66 m² it's 15.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (79 m² median across 10 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs).
