About 31 Beechwood Rise

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

31 Beechwood Rise is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD24 6SE). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D.

The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
