About 26 Grains Road

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

26 Grains Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Delph, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5DS). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 3-band jump.
