About 4 Priory Road

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

It has a recorded floor area of 234 m² (around 2519 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2009.
