About 2 Old Coach House

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

The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Period features are noted in the property record.

Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor.
