Overview

About 3 Barn Owl Way

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

3 Barn Owl Way is a four-bedroom detached house in Burghfield Common, Reading, Reading (RG7 3XX). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (August 2012) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
