About 49 Kingston Lane

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

49 Kingston Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in Southwick, Brighton, Brighton (BN42 4SJ). It has a recorded floor area of 160 m² (around 1722 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E.
