About 17 The Laffords

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

17 The Laffords is a detached house in Bradfield Southend, Reading, Reading (RG7 6JD). It has a recorded floor area of 162 m² (around 1744 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band G.
