About 5 Albany Close
5 Albany Close is a five-bedroom detached house in Trowbridge (BA14 7LN). It has a recorded floor area of 187 m² (around 2013 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band G.

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80).
