Green Bank Cottage is a detached house in Diggle, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5JY). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1070 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 51).
