About Knights Cottage

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

Knights Cottage is a semi-detached house in Dunstall, Burton-On-Trent, Burton On Trent (DE13 8BE). It has a recorded floor area of 159 m² (around 1711 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900.
