The estimate for Hereford Cottage is modelled from its 100 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in TN26 2PB. 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.

Hereford Cottage has no Land Registry sales on file, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands since registration began.
That can mean the property has never traded since the registry began publishing in 1995, was a new build that hasn't been registered yet, or is held in the same hands long-term.
