About 5 Cossham Road

It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B.

Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump.
