About The Old Smithy
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
The Old Smithy is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Kingswear, Dartmouth, Dartmouth (TQ6 0DP). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
