About Freshfield House

It has a recorded floor area of 141 m² (around 1518 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1983-1990. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2009.

The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
