About 4 Penny Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Penny Court is a detached house in Watford (WD17 1QR). It has a recorded floor area of 35 m² (around 377 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. At 35 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (35–36 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom.
