About 26 The Green

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

26 The Green is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Acomb, York, York (YO26 5LR). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump.
