About 5 Craigen Gardens
5 Craigen Gardens is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Ilford (IG3 9FG). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2020) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average.

The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a balcony.
It hasn't traded since September 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area.
