About 4 8
4 8 is a semi-detached house in Newbury (RG14 5LL). It has a recorded floor area of 25 m² (around 269 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 25 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 9 units on EPC record in 4 8, where floor areas span 14–28 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom.

Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
