About Blacksmiths Cottage

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

Blacksmiths Cottage is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Great Burdon, Darlington, Darlington (DL1 3JL). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C.

3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
