About 28 Countess Road
28 Countess Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Northampton (NN5 7DY). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
