Overview

About 14 Ashford Avenue

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

14 Ashford Avenue is a semi-detached house in Sonning Common, Reading, Reading (RG4 9LR). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 804 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 64), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
