About This Property
This terraced house is located in GRAVESEND, DA11 7DG. The property offers 66m² (710 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of D (56/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency.
