Overview

About 1 Princess Drive

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

1 Princess Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Sawston, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB22 3DL). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 976 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £344,000 sits 67.8% above the 2007 sale of £205,000.
