Overview

About 12 Peasecroft

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

12 Peasecroft is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Cottered, Buntingford, Buntingford (SG9 9QS). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2025) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in August 2021 the rating was G, the property has climbed 4 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Average, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88). Main heating runs on electricity. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 109 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2023. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £530,000 is 34.2% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£337/sq ft) was about 50.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £395,000 in October 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
