Overview

About 33 Grove Road

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

33 Grove Road is a detached house in Sonning Common, Reading, Reading (RG4 9RH). It has a recorded floor area of 318 m² (around 3423 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (March 2024) returns a high B (score 85), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating.

Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Very Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good.

Held since December 2009 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
