26 Sparks Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in Heswall, Wirral, Wirral (CH61 7XG). It has a recorded floor area of 146 m² (around 1572 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump.
