The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). Main heating runs on house coal. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since June 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £130,000 sits 72.2% above the 2008 sale of £75,500.
