It has a recorded floor area of 216 m² (around 2325 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. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows an F (score 26), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 3 certificates since March 2012. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on bulk wood pellets. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
