Boscobel House is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Hackney, London, London (E8 1BU). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B.

Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.
