2 Brackenbury Close is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Portslade, Brighton, Brighton (BN41 2ES). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views.
