About 34a

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

34a is a one-bedroom detached house in Marlow (SL7 1AW). It has a recorded floor area of 41 m² (around 441 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. At 41 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (41–104 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 15 units on file.
