About Little Birches

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

Little Birches is a detached house in Woking (GU21 7QS). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1335 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2012) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.

Past consents include tree works, an extension, a porch and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
