About 24 Poplar Close

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

24 Poplar Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Towcester (NN12 6BJ).

Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump.
