Overview

About 2 The Rocks

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

2 The Rocks is a two-bedroom detached house in Blakeney (GL15 4AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2023) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in November 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 125), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The property has an EV charger on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
