About 5 Waldingfield Road

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

5 Waldingfield Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Acton, Sudbury, Sudbury (CO10 0AH). It has a recorded floor area of 238 m² (around 2562 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966.

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
