About 3 Dorset Drive

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

3 Dorset Drive is a detached house in Moira, Swadlincote, Swadlincote (DE12 6HU). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump.
