Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 217 m² the property is well over the postcode median (133 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £904,000 sits 144.3% above the 2010 sale of £370,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£158/sq ft) was about 50.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
