About 7 Bessborough Drive

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

7 Bessborough Drive is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cardiff (CF11 8NE). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D.
