74 Hexthorpe Road is an end-of-terrace house in Doncaster (DN4 0AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 38 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (38–98 m²). The building's EPC ratings span G to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (6 versus a best of 60). The latest certificate (August 2012) shows a G (score 6), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at G across 2 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 66), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from August 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 2000 — that's 26 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 38 m² it sits well below the postcode median (94 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £113,000 sits 402.2% above the 2000 sale of £22,500.
