About 15 School Lane
15 School Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in Forton, Preston, Preston (PR3 0AS). It has a recorded floor area of 157 m² (around 1690 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D.

Untraded for 30 years, with the last transfer in December 1995. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.
