About 1 Desford Avenue
1 Desford Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Manchester (M21 0TG). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2016) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
