About 12 Riverside Drive
12 Riverside Drive is a five-bedroom detached house in Summerseat, Bury, Bury (BL9 5QX). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2025) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
It hasn't traded since August 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area.
