Overview

About 18 Bateson Drive

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

18 Bateson Drive is an end-of-terrace house in Leavesden, Watford, Watford (WD25 7NB). It has a recorded floor area of 154 m² (around 1658 sq ft) and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2014) returns a high B (score 85), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The recommended improvements would push it to A (score 92).
