Rivington is a three-bedroom detached house in Wolverhampton (WV3 9LT). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 44).
