About 53 Kimbolton Road

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

It has a recorded floor area of 172 m² (around 1850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2010) shows an F (score 22), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on electricity.
