About Elmscott

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

Elmscott is a three-bedroom detached house in Windermere (LA23 1DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 153 m² (around 1647 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 4-band jump.
