About Twizel Cottage

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

Twizel Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Kirk Hammerton, York, York (YO26 8DA). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E.
