Overview

About Castle View

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

Castle View is a semi-detached house in Sissinghurst, Cranbrook, Cranbrook (TN17 2AB). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1356 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
