About 5 Woodlands Drive
5 Woodlands Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Malpas, Newport, Newport (NP20 6QD). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 4-band jump.
