About 9 Bishops Close
9 Bishops Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Torquay (TQ1 2PL). It has a recorded floor area of 187 m² (around 2013 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe and outbuildings.
