About 23 Lycroft Close

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

23 Lycroft Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Goring, Reading, Reading (RG8 0AT). It has a recorded floor area of 149 m² (around 1604 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (January 2014) returns a high B (score 88), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor.
