About 22 Birkdale Drive

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

22 Birkdale Drive is a two-bedroom detached house in Chesterfield (S40 3JL). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
