45a is an end-of-terrace house in Presteigne (LD8 2BE). It has a recorded floor area of 28 m² (around 303 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 43). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
2 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 1 refused, 1 pending. An application is currently awaiting a decision. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 28 m² it sits well below the postcode median (72 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs).
