14 Alma Street is a semi-detached house in Buxton (SK17 7DY). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 530 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows an F (score 27), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on electricity.

On EPC score it ranks last in the building (27 versus a best of 79).

It hasn't traded since August 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 49 m² it sits well below the postcode median (82 m² across 26 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: change of use to residential approved in 2007. Past consents include change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
