Overview

About 6 Blackhorse Avenue

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

6 Blackhorse Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackrod, Bolton, Bolton (BL6 5HE). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (April 2025) returns a B (score 84), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in January 2014 the rating was D, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to A (score 94). The property has solar panels and an EV charger on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 94 m² it's 22.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (77 m² median across 17 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £280,000 sits 188.7% above the 2015 sale of £97,000.

Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in April 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
