It has a recorded floor area of 135 m² (around 1453 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows a G (score 14), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (March 2014); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot.
