8 Brooks Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Donisthorpe, Swadlincote, Swadlincote (DE12 7BA). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1236 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62). Main heating runs on lpg.
