About 6 Essex Street
6 Essex Street is a five-bedroom mid-terrace house in Reading (RG2 0EH). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2019) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it C (January 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.
