About Manor Farm Cottage

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

Manor Farm Cottage is a detached house in Kirk Smeaton, Pontefract, Pontefract (WF8 3JT). It has a recorded floor area of 200 m² (around 2153 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E.
