About 20 Elsham Close

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

20 Elsham Close is a detached house in Bolton (BL1 7BL). It has a recorded floor area of 159 m² (around 1711 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2014.
