3 Peitley Cottages is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Flamstead, St. Albans, St Albans (AL3 8DU). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views.
