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

5a is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Penn, Wolverhampton, Wolverhampton (WV4 5HU). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1475 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D.
