About 18 Crossgates
18 Crossgates is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Stevenage (SG1 1LR). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78).
