About 15 Market Square
15 Market Square is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bishops Castle (SY9 5BN). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1335 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
