About Channings
Channings is a detached house in Forton, Preston, Preston (PR3 0BL). It has a recorded floor area of 201 m² (around 2160 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (August 2011) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 66), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
