Overview

About 1 Whitebarns Cottage

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

1 Whitebarns Cottage is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Furneux Pelham, Buntingford, Buntingford (SG9 0JJ). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views, a conservatory and outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record.

It hasn't traded since September 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 90 m² it sits well below the postcode median (148 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 2006–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £652,000 is 48.2% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£454/sq ft) was about 76.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 2 refused.
