About Birchgrove
Birchgrove is a four-bedroom detached house in Headley, Thatcham, Thatcham (RG19 8AB). It has a recorded floor area of 187 m² (around 2013 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
