About Chestnut Barn

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

It has a recorded floor area of 139 m² (around 1496 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in December 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor.
