About 8 Blackthorn Road
8 Blackthorn Road is a semi-detached house in Kenilworth (CV8 2DS). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1016 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
