About Bridewell Forge House
Bridewell Forge House is a four-bedroom detached house in Clare, Sudbury, Sudbury (CO10 8QD). It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1485 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe.
