7 Alder Lane is a detached house in Crank, St. Helens, St Helens (WA11 7SQ). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft) and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2015) returns a B (score 82), comfortably above the UK average. The recommended improvements would push it to A (score 95).
