About 4 Darlington Road

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

4 Darlington Road is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Manchester (M20 1JB). It has a recorded floor area of 143 m² (around 1539 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2026) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2015. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average.
