About The Little House
The Little House is a detached house in Albury, Guildford, Guildford (GU5 9DD). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1206 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G.

The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
