About Moss Bank House
Moss Bank House is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Bolton (BL1 6LU). It has a recorded floor area of 159 m² (around 1711 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1991-1995.

On EPC score it ranks first in the building (81 versus a worst of 55). The home occupies a corner plot. The latest certificate (September 2012) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in September 2011 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good.
