About Sleepy Hollows

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

Sleepy Hollows is a four-bedroom detached house in Garboldisham, Diss, Diss (IP22 2SD). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966. The latest certificate (November 2012) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (July 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 62), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
