About 1 Grand Crescent

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

1 Grand Crescent is a three-bedroom detached house in Rottingdean, Brighton, Brighton (BN2 7GL). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1275 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E.

Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74).
