About 3 The Grove
3 The Grove is a four-bedroom detached house in Dobcross, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5RR). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
