About 1 Countess Road
1 Countess Road is an end-of-terrace house in Manchester (M20 6RS). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2019) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump.
