About 4 Dowr Close

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

4 Dowr Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Launceston (PL15 7BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band A.
