Overview

About 37 Recreation Road

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

37 Recreation Road is a semi-detached house in Guildford (GU1 1HP). It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1485 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 87). The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 138 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 71% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2023. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
