About The Old Post House
The Old Post House is a five-bedroom detached house in Bishop's Stortford (CM22 6HR). It has a recorded floor area of 427 m² (around 4596 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. The latest certificate (September 2011) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from September 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
14 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 4 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.
