Overview

About Fox Down

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Fox Down is a five-bedroom detached house in Hereford (HR4 0SG). It has a recorded floor area of 216 m² (around 2326 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since November 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 216 m² the property is well over the postcode median (151 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2003–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £511,000 is 44.8% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£152/sq ft) was about 15.2% below the postcode norm.
