About This Property
This terraced flat is located in ST. HELENS, WA9 3GQ. The property offers 68m² (732 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a recently constructed modern home. With an EPC rating of D (63/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency.

Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation.
