Overview

About 1 Meadway

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

1 Meadway is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Colney Heath, St. Albans, St Albans (AL4 0PS). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2018) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Held since April 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 90 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £478,000 sits 497.9% above the 1999 sale of £79,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£83/sq ft) was about 75.5% below the postcode norm.
