About 20 Croft Way
20 Croft Way is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Menston, Ilkley, Ilkley (LS29 6LT). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1045 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
