About 1 Beacon Drive

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

1 Beacon Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Walsall (WS1 2NP). It has a recorded floor area of 185 m² (around 1991 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F.

Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75).
