About 20 Highfield Road

20 Highfield Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Sandridge, St. Albans, St Albans (AL4 9BU). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1194 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58).
