About 4 Otway Street

4 Otway Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Preston (PR1 7XB). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A.

It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area.
