About 1 Southwold Road

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

1 Southwold Road is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Watford (WD24 7DP). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
