About 3 Dowry Road

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

3 Dowry Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Lees, Oldham, Oldham (OL4 3JX). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A.
