1 Old Watling Street is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Flamstead, St. Albans, St Albans (AL3 8HL). It has a recorded floor area of 145 m² (around 1557 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2010) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since April 2011, a hold of 15 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £582,000 sits 67.5% above the 2011 sale of £347,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£223/sq ft) was about 25.5% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include a garage conversion, an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
