About 4 Freshfields
4 Freshfields is a three-bedroom detached house in Lea, Preston, Preston (PR2 1TH). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1107 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The latest certificate (October 2011) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from October 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
