About 1 Gladstone Villas

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

1 Gladstone Villas is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Durham (DH1 3DU). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2021) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (June 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump.
