About Butterfly Hall
Butterfly Hall is a one-bedroom detached house in Layham, Ipswich, Ipswich (IP7 5JZ). It has a recorded floor area of 247 m² (around 2654 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 39). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
