About 16 Manston Way

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

16 Manston Way is a detached house in St Albans (AL4 0AG). It has a recorded floor area of 200 m² (around 2153 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67).
