About 15 Byron Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15 Byron Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Hitchin (SG4 0QS). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility.

It hasn't traded since February 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area.
