About 1 Brackenwood Close
1 Brackenwood Close is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Leeds (LS8 1RL). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (January 2011); the latest reading is one band lower.
