About Plum Tree Cottage

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

Plum Tree Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Arley, Coventry, Coventry (CV7 8FE). It has a recorded floor area of 177 m² (around 1905 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E.
