About 17 Princess Drive
17 Princess Drive is a detached house in Sawston, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB22 3DL). It has a recorded floor area of 141 m² (around 1518 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 141 m² the property is well over the postcode median (96 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £510,000 sits 61.9% above the 2007 sale of £315,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
