About 1 Thorn Close

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

1 Thorn Close is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Fairfield, Buxton, Buxton (SK17 7NU). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2001. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
