About 4 Browns Lane
4 Browns Lane is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Handbridge, Chester, Chester (CH4 7JU). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 463 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 92), a 3-band jump.
