About 2 Carpenders Avenue

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

2 Carpenders Avenue is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD19 5BS). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 959 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2010) shows a C (score 71).
