About 1 Briants Avenue

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

1 Briants Avenue is a three-bedroom detached house in Caversham, Reading, Reading (RG4 5AZ). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1152 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 3-band jump.
