About 21 Appletree Drive
21 Appletree Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Dronfield (S18 1SG). It has a recorded floor area of 142 m² (around 1528 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 68), a 2-band jump.
