About Higher Simpson Farm

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

Higher Simpson Farm is a detached house in Higher Wheelton, Chorley, Chorley (PR6 8HW). It has a recorded floor area of 250 m² (around 2691 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1976-1982. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
