2 Roestock Lane is a five-bedroom detached house in Colney Heath, St. Albans, St Albans (AL4 0PR). It has a recorded floor area of 156 m² (around 1679 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. Tenure is freehold. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. The latest certificate (July 2018) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home.
