About 31 Howley Road

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

31 Howley Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Croydon (CR0 1AY). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C.
