About The Old Post Office

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

The Old Post Office is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Alderton, Chippenham, Chippenham (SN14 6NL). It has a recorded floor area of 135 m² (around 1456 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (January 2011) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from January 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.
