Overview

About 255 Abington Avenue

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

255 Abington Avenue is a six-bedroom semi-detached house in Northampton (NN3 2BU). It has a recorded floor area of 240 m² (around 2583 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement.
