About Old School House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Old School House is a semi-detached house in Barsham, Beccles, Beccles (NR34 8HA). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an F (score 21), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since January 2014. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £301,000 sits 68.2% above the 2014 sale of £179,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). On the market in August 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years.
