Get startedHillside is a detached house in Gulval, Penzance, Penzance (TR18 3BN). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since August 2015.

The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 63), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on bulk wood pellets. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
