About Butcher Head Farm

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

Butcher Head Farm is a detached house in Affetside, Bury, Bury (BL8 3QL). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows an F (score 26), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
