Overview

About 7 Damson Court

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

7 Damson Court is a one-bedroom detached house in Darlington (DL3 6JA). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 462 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. At 43 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (43–50 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
