Local market context
12 Charnwood Close is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Birchwood, Warrington, Warrington (WA3 6TG). It has a recorded floor area of 36 m² (around 388 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. At 36 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (36–108 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 36 m² it sits well below the postcode median (58 m² across 25 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
