1 Beech Grove is a semi-detached house in Higham, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 7BB). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1083 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2012) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump.
