Overview

About 2 Chestnut Grove

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

2 Chestnut Grove is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Acomb, York, York (YO26 5LE). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.
