The estimate for 3 Railway Cottages is modelled from its 105 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in ST21 6LG. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
