16 New Houses is a four-bedroom detached house in Scouthead, Oldham, Oldham (OL4 4AF). It has a recorded floor area of 167 m² (around 1802 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68).
