About 4 Dorchester Avenue

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

4 Dorchester Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Urmston, Manchester, Manchester (M41 0QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1208 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65).
