Overview

About 5 James Close

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

5 James Close is a semi-detached house in Bryncethin, Bridgend, Bridgend (CF32 9SJ). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. At 68 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 7 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 67–83 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top.
