About 1 Red Barn Drive

It has a recorded floor area of 373 m² (around 4015 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72).
