It has a recorded floor area of 141 m² (around 1518 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows an F (score 29), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (June 2016); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 56), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
