About Englefield
Englefield is a detached house in Sturminster Newton (DT10 1BU). It has a recorded floor area of 224 m² (around 2414 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (July 2011) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve.
