About 13 The Post Office
13 The Post Office is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Sunderland (SR1 1BH). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 495 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (August 2018) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve.
