About 8 Melrose Road

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

8 Melrose Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Bishop Monkton, Harrogate, Harrogate (HG3 3RH). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a loft.
