About 3 Abbey Place
3 Abbey Place is a four-bedroom detached house in Fordham, Ely, Ely (CB7 5WS). It has a recorded floor area of 164 m² (around 1761 sq ft) and council tax band F.

Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (June 2011) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from June 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
