About 16 West Street
16 West Street is a detached house in Rochester (ME2 3XG). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 110 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension, a garage conversion and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
