About 3 Ancaster Way
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Ancaster Way is a detached house in Cambridge (CB1 3TT). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 518 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. At 48 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 11 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 47–80 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (56 versus a best of 83). The latest certificate (March 2009) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2008. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since September 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £221,000 sits 66.8% above the 2009 sale of £132,500. At 48 m² it sits well below the postcode median (70 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 3 Ancaster Way is modelled from its 48 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB1 3TT. 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.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 3 Ancaster Way. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 3 Ancaster Way was lodged in March 2009 at band D and expired in March 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 3 Ancaster Way. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 24 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CB1 3TT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Ancaster Way is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
