About 2 Quainton Cottage
2 Quainton Cottage is a semi-detached house in Bishop's Stortford (CM22 7RA). It has a recorded floor area of 145 m² (around 1561 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2011) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from June 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £599,000 sits 84.3% above the 2011 sale of £325,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£208/sq ft) was about 52.5% below the postcode norm.
