About This Property
This semi-detached house is located in BLACKBURN, BB2 7LW. The property offers 414.86m² (4466 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. The property holds an EPC rating of C (69/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating.
