About The Firs
The Firs is a five-bedroom detached house in Glossop (SK13 7DP). It has a recorded floor area of 343 m² (around 3692 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G.

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 59), a 2-band jump.
