Yew Cottage, Cozens Lane West, Broxbourne, EN10 6QG
About Yew Cottage
Yew Cottage is a detached house in Broxbourne (EN10 6QG). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (September 2018) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 66 m² it sits well below the postcode median (171 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £1,115,000 is 13.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,379/sq ft) was about 509.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2012.
