About 1 Balcarres Road

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

1 Balcarres Road is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Ashton-On-Ribble, Preston, Preston (PR2 2BT). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2022) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
