Overview

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 (146 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 £606,000 is 42.6% 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. Last changed hands 11 years ago, in October 2015.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Bridge House is modelled from its 293 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR4 0RA. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for Bridge House. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Bridge House was lodged in April 2015 at band E and expired in April 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 7 applications are matched to Bridge House. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR4 0RA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Bridge House is in council tax band G. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
