5 Sherwoods Road, Watford, WD19 4AY
About 5 Sherwoods Road
5 Sherwoods Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Watford (WD19 4AY). It has a recorded floor area of 193 m² (around 2077 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2025) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
It hasn't traded since April 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £1,114,000 sits 108.2% above the 2007 sale of £535,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£258/sq ft) was about 24.8% below the postcode norm. At 193 m² it's 18.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (163 m² median across 8 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2008.
