About 9 Chaplin Close

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

9 Chaplin Close is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wainscott, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 8BY). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C.
