About Bridge House

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Bridge House is a three-bedroom detached house in Lea Town, Preston, Preston (PR4 0RA). It has a recorded floor area of 293 m² (around 3154 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 293 m² the property is well over the postcode median (126 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). 7 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2009–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at -3.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £637,000 is 49.9% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£135/sq ft) was about 31.5% below the postcode norm.
