About Ellesmere
Ellesmere is a detached house in Bishop's Stortford (CM22 6AW). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 940 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £565,000 sits 59.2% above the 2009 sale of £355,000. At 87 m² it sits well below the postcode median (132 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
