Overview

About 1 Birch View

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

1 Birch View is a two-bedroom detached house in Darlington (DL3 9TN). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 583 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. At 54 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 10 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 53–113 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84).
