About 1 Ash Grove

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

1 Ash Grove is a detached house in Wrea Green, Preston, Preston (PR4 2NY). It has a recorded floor area of 221 m² (around 2379 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (June 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor.
