About 23 Watkins Drive
23 Watkins Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Prestwich, Manchester, Manchester (M25 0DR). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
At 101 m² the property is well over the postcode median (54 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
