Overview

About Kempas Lodge

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

Kempas Lodge is a four-bedroom detached house in Bucklebury, Reading, Reading (RG7 6SX). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (August 2012) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
