About 41 Watford Road

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

41 Watford Road is a two-bedroom detached house in St Albans (AL1 2AE). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump.
