About The Crest
The Crest is a three-bedroom detached house in Alby, Norwich, Norwich (NR11 7PJ). It has a recorded floor area of 139 m² (around 1496 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a G (score 7), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to E (score 41), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
At 139 m² the property is well over the postcode median (106 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
