Overview

About Abbotsdene

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

Abbotsdene is a detached house in Braishfield, Romsey, Romsey (SO51 0QB). It has a recorded floor area of 191 m² (around 2056 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 5 certificates since November 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
