About 21 Bolton Lane
21 Bolton Lane is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Ipswich (IP4 2BX). It has a recorded floor area of 140 m² (around 1509 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2011) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 57). The latest certificate is from March 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
