About 4 Church Street
4 Church Street is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Read, Burnley, Burnley (BB12 7RW). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Most recent transfer: April 2022 at £170,000.
