About 4 Beacon Grove

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

4 Beacon Grove is a semi-detached house in Fulwood, Preston, Preston (PR2 3QU). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1324 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since July 2011. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
