About This Property
This terraced flat is located in CHORLEY, PR7 2BW. The property offers 61m² (657 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. The property holds an EPC rating of C (73/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs. While having low installation costs, running costs are typically higher than gas central heating.

The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings.
