48 Westbury Street is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Swansea (SA1 4JN). It has a recorded floor area of 135 m² (around 1453 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2023) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since November 2013.
