1 Bramley Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Melbourn, Royston, Royston (SG8 6HG). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since June 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 111), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
