20 Bank Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Platt Bridge, Wigan, Wigan (WN2 5BW). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2025) shows a C (score 73). The rating has held steady at C across 4 certificates since January 2012.
