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

Garden Cottage is a two-bedroom detached house in Alby, Norwich, Norwich (NR11 7PJ). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C.
