About 161 Melford Road

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

161 Melford Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Sudbury (CO10 1JU). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 506 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B.
