About 1 Bournewood Close
1 Bournewood Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Downswood, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME15 8TJ). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
