It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 725 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 64), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
