About 8 Abbottsleigh Gardens

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

8 Abbottsleigh Gardens is a detached house in Caversham, Reading, Reading (RG4 6LA). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 957 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
