Property information

Does anyone know if it is possible to find out information on neighbouring properties, such as number of bedrooms/bathrooms?
This is not nosiness on my part, I want to challenge my council tax banding and I am doing some comparisons with the rest of my road. It is quite difficult because there is a real mix of types of property and I want to make sure I am comparing like with like. We have only just moved in and I don't know any of them so I can't just ask. Our property is a new build on a plot in an established residential area and we seem to have been given a higher banding than anyone else in this road.
Thanks in advance.

as far as i'm aware there isn't
you would also need to find out when they moved into the property and have any extensions (or any thing else that might add value) been done to the house since they moved in
council tax only looks at what the size of the house was when you move in
it makes me laugh when estate agents list council tax bands on particulars as these are meaningless (the owners could have had a huge extension put on since they moved in which doesnt get counted until they sell)0
