3 Temple Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Watford (WD17 3DR). It has a recorded floor area of 202 m² (around 2178 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58).
