23 Forest Way, Loughton, IG10 1JG

It has a recorded floor area of 199 m² (around 2139 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe and attached land beyond the plot. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 57). The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
