About 7 Waters End
7 Waters End is a three-bedroom detached house in Gainford, Darlington, Darlington (DL2 3DU). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since November 2013. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
