About 173 Dorning Street
173 Dorning Street is a five-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Wigan (WN1 1HW). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2010) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 63).
