Homeleigh, Chickney Road, Henham, Bishop's Stortford, CM22 6BB

Homeleigh is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bishop's Stortford (CM22 6BB). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1593 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2024) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include notable views and a self-contained annexe. Period features are noted in the property record.

It hasn't traded since March 2008, a hold of 18 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. At 148 m² the property is well over the postcode median (70 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £706,000 sits 69.7% above the 2008 sale of £416,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£261/sq ft) was about 29.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2009. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
