About 1 Vicars Drive
1 Vicars Drive is an end-of-terrace house in Rochdale (OL16 1UR). It has a recorded floor area of 332 m² (around 3574 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an E (score 40), 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 May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
