About 20 Lower Road

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

20 Lower Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Barnacle, Coventry, Coventry (CV7 9LD). It has a recorded floor area of 139 m² (around 1496 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D.

Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump.
