Overview

About 34 Waterhouse Close

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

34 Waterhouse Close is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Wardle, Rochdale, Rochdale (OL12 9LL). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 787 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2011) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from December 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
