17 The Ridgeway is a three-bedroom detached house in Friston, Eastbourne, Eastbourne (BN20 0EU). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1389 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
