1 Castle Dyche is an end-of-terrace house in Presteigne (LD8 2BL). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C.

Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 62), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
