About 3 The Grove Mill

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

3 The Grove Mill is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Watford (WD17 3TU). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. At 55 m² this is the 6th smallest of 8 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 32–68 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (October 2023) shows a C (score 71).
