About 8 Dawkins Road
8 Dawkins Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Donisthorpe, Swadlincote, Swadlincote (DE12 7RN). It has a recorded floor area of 131 m² (around 1410 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82).
