About 21 Glassworks Studios

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

It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2019) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in August 2009 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in November 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
