About 26 Sycamore Drive

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

26 Sycamore Drive is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Winstanley, Wigan, Wigan (WN3 6DG). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B.
