About Brockwell Bungalow
Brockwell Bungalow is a two-bedroom detached house in Botesdale, Diss, Diss (IP22 1BX). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in March 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
