About 12 Castle Road

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

12 Castle Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bury (BL9 8JL). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B.

Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good.
