Hollydene, Station Road, Elsenham, Bishop's Stortford, CM22 6LA

Hollydene is a detached house in Bishop's Stortford (CM22 6LA). It has a recorded floor area of 134 m² (around 1439 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows an F (score 29), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since June 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 134 m² it sits well below the postcode median (246 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £555,000 sits 52.7% above the 2009 sale of £363,500. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
