About Twin Oak
Twin Oak is a detached house in Redbourn, St. Albans, St Albans (AL3 7NH). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1308 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66).
