Overview

About 4 Post Office Cottages

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

4 Post Office Cottages is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bishop's Stortford (CM22 7PX). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 671 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 59). The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

Held since August 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £373,000 sits 101.6% above the 2009 sale of £185,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£276/sq ft) was about 32.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs).
