Local market context
2 Albion Cottage is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Stanford, Ashford, Ashford (TN25 6DH). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (June 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on dual fuel. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.
