About Laburnams
Laburnams is a detached house in Bishop's Stortford (CM22 6DF). It has a recorded floor area of 223 m² (around 2400 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F.

Held since August 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
