About 15 Birchwood

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

15 Birchwood is a five-bedroom detached house in Norwich (NR7 0RL). It has a recorded floor area of 146 m² (around 1567 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2011) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70).
