About 8 Burghley Close

8 Burghley Close is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Desborough, Kettering, Kettering (NN14 2RB). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A.

Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump.
