40 Browning Close is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Royston (SG8 7EY). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft) and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2012) returns a high B (score 85), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The latest certificate is from October 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
