About 5 Gaitskell Close
5 Gaitskell Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Goldthorpe, Rotherham, Rotherham (S63 9PX). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A.

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
