Overview

About 4 Hillside

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

4 Hillside is a six-bedroom semi-detached house in Sawston, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB22 3BL). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2016) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include a conservatory and outbuildings.

It hasn't traded since June 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1998–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £540,000 sits 92.9% above the 2008 sale of £280,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count.
