1920s ex London County Council end-of-terrace house

“The house was purchased at the end of 2014. It had an EPC of F and required a lot of work to make it comfortable and warm, so it was an opportunity to incorporate environmental improvements to reduce its carbon footprint. It took a year to find an architect, agree the plans and get building consent. Having spent two very cold winters in the house, in March 2016, the builders moved in and I moved out! I moved back in during September 2016 .The house has been transformed. The EPC now is B, and as a bonus it generates as much energy as it uses (and so is designated zero carbon/carbon neutral).”
