About 8 Castle Hill
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Castle Hill is a three-bedroom detached house in Huntingdon (PE29 3AS). It has a recorded floor area of 168 m² (around 1808 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since September 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.

At 168 m² the property is well over the postcode median (111 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
