About 197 Park Road
197 Park Road is a mid-terrace house in Treorchy (CF42 6HY). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2012) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump.
