About Otterspool House
Otterspool House is a semi-detached house in Watford (WD25 8AX). It has a recorded floor area of 358 m² (around 3856 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band H. The latest certificate (July 2011) shows a G (score 8), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 23). Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from July 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 358 m² the property is well over the postcode median (103 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £2,307,000 sits 130.7% above the 2014 sale of £1,000,000. 12 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 6 refused. Past consents include new windows, an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. On the market in August 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years.
