About 25b
25b is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Northam, Bideford, Bideford (EX39 1AW). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band A. At 51 m² this is the 6th smallest of 43 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 35–173 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 43 units on file. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on electricity.
