About 1 Dhobi Place
1 Dhobi Place is a four-bedroom detached house in Ipswich (IP1 4QA). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1125 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2009) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72).
