About 18 Grovewood Drive

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

18 Grovewood Drive is a detached house in Appley Bridge, Wigan, Wigan (WN6 9JF). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since January 2015.
