About This Property
This semi-detached house is located in BLACKBURN, BB2 3JQ. The property offers 59m² (635 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property holds an EPC rating of C (73/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (92/100). This property benefits from a air source heat pump system, which can deliver 3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used.
