About 20 Low Green

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

20 Low Green is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Gainford, Darlington, Darlington (DL2 3DS). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B.
