About Rock Bank
Rock Bank is a detached house in Chorlton-By-Backford, Chester, Chester (CH2 4BN). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966. The latest certificate (November 2022) returns a high B (score 89), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating.

It hasn't traded since April 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area.
