About 3 Northfield Gardens
3 Northfield Gardens is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Watford (WD24 7RF). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
At 127 m² the property is well over the postcode median (95 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2009. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1996–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £591,000 is 19.4% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£362/sq ft) was about 29.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
