About 22a
22a is an end-of-terrace house in Luton (LU1 2NR). It has a recorded floor area of 29 m² (around 312 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929.

The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
