1 Bridle Close is a four-bedroom detached house in St Albans (AL3 5HX). It has a recorded floor area of 150 m² (around 1615 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since August 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Today's modelled estimate of £1,076,000 sits 58.7% above the 2015 sale of £678,000. On the market in October 2015 and unlisted since — roughly 11 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2026.
