About 7a
7a is a detached house in Alford (LN13 9DG). It has a recorded floor area of 36 m² (around 384 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 36 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (36–157 m²). The building's EPC ratings span G to C, with this unit at the bottom.

The recommended improvements would lift it to E (score 40), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
