About 3 Melrose Gardens

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

3 Melrose Gardens is a detached house in Croston, Leyland, Leyland (PR26 9HR). It has a recorded floor area of 187 m² (around 2013 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a C (score 74). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since September 2019. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
