About Birchwood House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Birchwood House is a detached house in Braithwell, Rotherham, Rotherham (S66 7AF). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a G (score 17), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 93), a 6-band jump. Main heating runs on smokeless coal. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
