About Kenilworth
Kenilworth is an end-of-terrace house in Torquay (TQ1 2EX). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. At 64 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 16 units on EPC record in Kenilworth, where floor areas span 60–71 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (68 versus a best of 78). The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
