About 5 Lenham Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Lenham Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Kingswood, Maidstone, Maidstone (ME17 1LZ). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band D.
