About The Old Wool Shop Flat
The Old Wool Shop Flat is a semi-detached house in Ambleside (LA22 0BU). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to E (score 40), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
