About 18 Bernhard Gardens

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

18 Bernhard Gardens is a four-bedroom detached house in Polegate (BN26 5JN). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D.
