5 The Old School House is an end-of-terrace house in North Tawton (EX20 2HB). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 496 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2011) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from August 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
