About 25 Sycamore Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

25 Sycamore Road is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Handsworth, Birmingham, Birmingham (B21 0QW). It has a recorded floor area of 179 m² (around 1927 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve.
