About 23 Whittaker Street

23 Whittaker Street is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Blackburn (BB2 1HG). It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1395 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2011) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. The latest certificate is from February 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
