About 61 Cheltenham Drive

61 Cheltenham Drive is a detached house in Leigh On Sea (SS9 3EQ). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 934 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 52).
