About 17 French Avenue
17 French Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Mile Oak, Tamworth, Tamworth (B78 3PB).

The latest certificate (July 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 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
