Get startedBrookside is a detached house in Watchfield, Highbridge, Highbridge (TA9 4RE). It has a recorded floor area of 176 m² (around 1894 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2014) returns a B (score 84), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Very Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Very Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
