About 5 Martyns Close

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

5 Martyns Close is a semi-detached house in Goonhavern, Truro, Truro (TR4 9JW). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1983-1990.

The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 95), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
