Overview

About 1 College Street

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

1 College Street is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in St Albans (AL3 4PW). It has a recorded floor area of 195 m² (around 2099 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs.

Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.

At 195 m² the property is well over the postcode median (148 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 4 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.
