About 12 Chelsea Court

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

12 Chelsea Court is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Darlington (DL1 5YE). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C.
