About Scotby
Scotby is a 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. The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since February 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement.
