7 Birch Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Kippax, Leeds, Leeds (LS25 7DY). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B.

Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump.
