About Lidwells Barn
Lidwells Barn is a detached house in Goudhurst, Cranbrook, Cranbrook (TN17 1JJ). It has a recorded floor area of 145 m² (around 1560 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows an F (score 30), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on oil.
