Overview

About 17 Beacon Road

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

17 Beacon Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Billinge, Wigan, Wigan (WN5 7HE). It has a recorded floor area of 139 m² (around 1499 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
