About Highbury House
Highbury House is a seven-bedroom detached house in Meriden, Coventry, Coventry (CV7 7LB). It has a recorded floor area of 463 m² (around 4984 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band H. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75).
