About 1 Bolton Road
1 Bolton Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Hawkshaw, Bury, Bury (BL8 4HZ). It has a recorded floor area of 184 m² (around 1981 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views.
