Overview

About 1 Coastguard Cottages

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

1 Coastguard Cottages is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Isle Of Grain, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 0DS). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A.
