1 Rowe Close is a two-bedroom detached house in Bideford (EX39 5XX). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1048 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. At 97 m² this is the 6th smallest of 30 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 77–253 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (69 versus a best of 90). The latest certificate (August 2010) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since March 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The latest certificate is from August 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
