About 32 Bracken Road
32 Bracken Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Darlington (DL3 9LX). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a G (score 18), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
