About 23 Highfield Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

23 Highfield Drive is a semi-detached house in Middleton, Manchester, Manchester (M24 1DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.
