About 8 Woodlands Way
8 Woodlands Way is a detached house in Barton, Preston, Preston (PR3 5DU). It has a recorded floor area of 190 m² (around 2045 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a C (score 74). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
