Overview

About The Old Bakehouse

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

The Old Bakehouse is a semi-detached house in Burghfield, Reading, Reading (RG30 3TH). It has a recorded floor area of 162 m² (around 1744 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2013) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 162 m² it's 18.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (199 m² median across 11 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs).
