Overview

About Freshfield

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

Freshfield is a three-bedroom detached house in Bishop's Stortford (CM22 6JQ). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows an F (score 30), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

At 118 m² it's 22.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (153 m² median across 11 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £644,000 is 44.6% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£351/sq ft) was about 18.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in June 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
