About 4 Hillside Road

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

4 Hillside Road is a detached house in St Albans (AL1 3QL). It has a recorded floor area of 209 m² (around 2250 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G.
