About 5 Appleton Close
5 Appleton Close is an end-of-terrace house in Darlington (DL3 0PB). It has a recorded floor area of 44 m² (around 474 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band A.

The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
