About Beedon Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Beedon Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Sulham, Reading, Reading (RG8 8DY). It has a recorded floor area of 206 m² (around 2217 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G.
