Overview

About 17 Wistlea Crescent

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

17 Wistlea Crescent is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Colney Heath, St. Albans, St Albans (AL4 0NL). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2025) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
