About 6 Sparkeswood Avenue

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

6 Sparkeswood Avenue is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Rolvenden, Cranbrook, Cranbrook (TN17 4LU). It has a recorded floor area of 152 m² (around 1636 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (March 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average.
