About 6 St Margarets Garth

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

6 St Margarets Garth is a seven-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Durham (DH1 4DS). It has a recorded floor area of 219 m² (around 2357 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F.
