1 Harkness Road is a detached house in Burnham, Slough, Slough (SL1 7BL). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72).
