About 13 Briwere Road

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

13 Briwere Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Torquay (TQ1 4DU). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D.

When first surveyed in September 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since.
