Overview

About 17 Gustard Wood

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

17 Gustard Wood is a detached house in Wheathampstead, St. Albans, St Albans (AL4 8RP). It has a recorded floor area of 197 m² (around 2120 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (April 2022) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump.

Today's modelled estimate of £1,165,000 is 66.4% below the 2022 sale of £3,471,021, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,637/sq ft) was about 242.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 197 m² the property is well over the postcode median (102 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). 20 planning records sit against the property, 7 approved, 1 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Sold August 2022 for £3,471,021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
