About 5 Melville Court

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

5 Melville Court is a one-bedroom detached house in Guildford (GU2 4ER). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 547 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C.
