About 6 The Old Vicarage

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

6 The Old Vicarage is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Far Sawrey, Ambleside, Ambleside (LA22 0LQ). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, main heating went from Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
