About The Lighthouse
The Lighthouse is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Torquay (TQ1 2AR). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2003-2006.

On EPC score it ranks first in the building (78 versus a worst of 46). Other recorded features include a balcony and notable views. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.
