The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: subdivision approved in 2012. Past consents include subdivision and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
