About 31 Priory Lane
31 Priory Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Penwortham, Preston, Preston (PR1 0AR). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1292 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows an F (score 24), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.
