About 21 Cobourg Road
21 Cobourg Road is a mid-terrace house in Southwark, London, London (SE5 0HT). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78).

Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.
