About The Ilex
The Ilex is a detached house in Blaenau, Ammanford, Ammanford (SA18 3BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 210 m² (around 2260 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). Main heating runs on oil.
