About 29 Devereux Drive

It has a recorded floor area of 241 m² (around 2594 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (August 2013) returns a high B (score 85), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating.

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Very Good.
