Overview

About 5 Ashbury Close

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

5 Ashbury Close is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB1 3RW). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 991 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2011) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from October 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 92 m² the property is well over the postcode median (70 m² across 45 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Across 2012–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £527,000 sits 59.7% above the 2015 sale of £330,000. Last sold in February 2015, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
