About 5 Wansfell Tower Court

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

5 Wansfell Tower Court is a one-bedroom property in Ambleside (LA22 0DD). It has a recorded floor area of 37 m² (around 402 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (August 2010) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
