About 1 Birch Avenue
1 Birch Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Worcester (WR4 9SH). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 4-band jump.
