About 8 Moorhey Cottages

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

8 Moorhey Cottages is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Bretherton, Leyland, Leyland (PR26 9AE). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 61), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
