About Chalkdell House

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

Chalkdell House is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Watford (WD25 0TA). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 488 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2003-2006. The latest certificate (May 2009) returns a high B (score 87), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating.
