About 18 St James Gardens

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

18 St James Gardens is a two-bedroom property in Little Heath, Romford, Romford (RM6 5RY).

The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (February 2012) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. Main heating runs on electricity.
