About 8 Ashwood Grange

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

8 Ashwood Grange is a three-bedroom detached house in Thornley, Durham, Durham (DH6 3ET). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (June 2013); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.
