1 Abbeycroft is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Whalley, Clitheroe, Clitheroe (BB7 9TN). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs.

When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump.

Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.
