About This Property
This semi-detached house is located in CALDICOT, NP26 4HS. The property offers 62mยฒ (667 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (67/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency.
