About Briarwood
Briarwood is a detached house in Bishop's Stortford (CM22 6QP). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 781 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows a C (score 70). The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 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. Today's modelled estimate of £431,000 sits 79.6% above the 2009 sale of £240,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£307/sq ft) was about 27.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 73 m² it sits well below the postcode median (164 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2008.
