12 Emmens Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Checkendon, Reading, Reading (RG8 0TU). It has a recorded floor area of 133 m² (around 1432 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
