1 Police Houses, Station Road, Elsenham, Bishop's Stortford, CM22 6LA
About 1 Police Houses
1 Police Houses is a three-bedroom detached house in Bishop's Stortford (CM22 6LA). It has a recorded floor area of 246 m² (around 2648 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2020 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2021) returns an A (score 94), the top energy band on the EPC scale. Main heating runs on electricity: electricity, unspecified tariff. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
It hasn't traded since April 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. Today's modelled estimate of £798,000 sits 149.4% above the 2008 sale of £320,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£121/sq ft) was about 51.2% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 246 m² it's 23.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (199 m² median across 13 EPCs).
