Get started14 Chestnut Rise is a four-bedroom detached house in Bushey (WD23 1AB). It has a recorded floor area of 198 m² (around 2131 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in February 2015 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and window efficiency went from Poor to Average. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
