About 8 Main Road
8 Main Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Holmesfield, Dronfield, Dronfield (S18 7WT). It has a recorded floor area of 133 m² (around 1432 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2012) shows an F (score 28), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility.
