About 9 Penfold Close

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

It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2014) returns a high B (score 88), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating.
