Holme Corner Cottage, Bolstone, Hereford, HR2 6ND

Holme Corner Cottage is a detached house in Bolstone, Hereford, Hereford (HR2 6ND). It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1485 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2019) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 138 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £388,000 sits 94% above the 2009 sale of £200,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
