About Old Meadows
Old Meadows is a four-bedroom detached house in Chorleywood, Rickmansworth, Rickmansworth (WD3 5EL). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (December 2008) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 55), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in September 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. 7 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused.
