About Squirrel Cottage

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

Squirrel Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bream, Lydney, Lydney (GL15 6LZ). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B.
