About Spring House

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

Spring House is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Horfield, Bristol, Bristol (BS7 0QH). It has a recorded floor area of 31 m² (around 334 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band A. At 31 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across Spring House (31–107 m²). On EPC score it ranks first in the building (78 versus a worst of 70). The latest certificate (February 2025) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (July 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good.

It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £145,000 sits 51.8% above the 2007 sale of £95,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£286/sq ft) was about 129.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 31 m² it sits well below the postcode median (87 m² across 26 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include change of use to residential and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
