About 4 Chancery Lane
4 Chancery Lane is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Shaw, Oldham, Oldham (OL2 8EX). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A.

It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area.
