About 2 Lea Road

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

2 Lea Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD24 6DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D.
