About Cell Park Farm
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Cell Park Farm is a detached house in Markyate, St. Albans, St Albans (AL3 8QQ). It has a recorded floor area of 455 m² (around 4898 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a C (score 70). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £1,856,000 is 40.1% below the 2021 sale of £3,100,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. At 455 m² the property is well over the postcode median (161 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs). Sold September 2021 for £3,100,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Cell Park Farm is modelled from its 455 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in AL3 8QQ. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Cell Park Farm. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Cell Park Farm was lodged in May 2014 at band C and expired in May 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Cell Park Farm. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from AL3 8QQ, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- Cell Park Farm is in council tax band G. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
