About 47 Whalley Road

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

47 Whalley Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Read, Burnley, Burnley (BB12 7PN). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1292 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D.

Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
