About 15 Somerset Avenue

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

15 Somerset Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Wilpshire, Blackburn, Blackburn (BB1 9JD). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E.
