About 8 Cannon Road

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

8 Cannon Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Watford (WD18 0BB). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C.
