About 81 High Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
81 High Street is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Barkway, Royston, Royston (SG8 8ED). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
