25 Gainsborough Avenue is a four-bedroom detached house in St Albans (AL1 4NJ). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1312 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (October 2011) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61).
