Overview

About 1 Elder Close

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

1 Elder Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Sawston, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB22 3BB). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 838 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Across 2009–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £325,000 sits 63.7% above the 2013 sale of £198,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£237/sq ft) was about 24.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in July 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
