About 20 Friar Road
20 Friar Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Brighton (BN1 6NG). It has a recorded floor area of 155 m² (around 1668 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an E (score 49), 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 April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views.
