Bexton Lodge, Rawlingswell Lane, St Martins, Marlborough, SN8 1AU

Bexton Lodge is a three-bedroom detached house in Marlborough (SN8 1AU). It has a recorded floor area of 159 m² (around 1706 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (December 2009) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from December 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
