The estimate for 1 Half Way Cottages is modelled from its 120 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CO5 9PL. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
