About 1b
1b is a four-bedroom detached house in Sawston, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB22 3DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 149 m² (around 1604 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1996-2002. The property has an EV charger on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (December 2020) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77).
At 149 m² the property is well over the postcode median (103 m² across 37 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, a garage conversion and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2002–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £735,000 is 11.4% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£412/sq ft) was about 63.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold April 2022 for £660,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
