About Porthview

It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 783 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2010) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. Main heating runs on lpg.

It hasn't traded since December 2006, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area.
