About The Granary
The Granary is a four-bedroom detached house in Otham, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME15 8RY). It has a recorded floor area of 203 m² (around 2187 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (December 2011) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (March 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 40). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
