2 Churchgate, Southport, PR9 7JJ

2 Churchgate is a two-bedroom detached house in Southport (PR9 7JJ). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows an F (score 23), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
