Moornook Farm is a detached house in Knowle Green, Preston, Preston (PR3 2YS). It has a recorded floor area of 228 m² (around 2454 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2010) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (October 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
