4 Birch Road is a detached house in King's Lynn (PE32 1UN). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1335 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.
