Overview

About Birchenwood Farm

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

Birchenwood Farm is a four-bedroom detached house in Lower Broadheath, Worcester, Worcester (WR2 6QG). It has a recorded floor area of 161 m² (around 1734 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since December 2008. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The latest certificate is from March 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe. Period features are noted in the property record.
