About 278 Chorley New Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
278 Chorley New Road is an end-of-terrace house in Horwich, Bolton, Bolton (BL6 5NY). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 51 m² this is the 11th smallest of 18 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 27–77 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 18 units on file. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71).
