26 Harbord Road is a five-bedroom detached house in Overstrand, Cromer, Cromer (NR27 0PN). It has a recorded floor area of 140 m² (around 1507 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E.

Most recent transfer: January 2022 at £895,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.
