Overview

About 2 Old Mead Cottage

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

2 Old Mead Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bishop's Stortford (CM22 6JQ). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a balcony. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 101 m² it sits well below the postcode median (153 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On the market in May 2015 and unlisted since — roughly 11 years. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. 6 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 0 refused.
