About 2 Harpswood
2 Harpswood is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Hollingbourne, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 1QG). It has a recorded floor area of 161 m² (around 1733 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since December 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
