About 1 Quainton Cottage
1 Quainton Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bishop's Stortford (CM22 7RA). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 94), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 1996, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £481,000 sits 337.3% above the 1996 sale of £110,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£105/sq ft) was about 76% below the postcode norm. At 97 m² it sits well below the postcode median (144 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
