Overview

About 8 Granta Road

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

8 Granta Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Sawston, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB22 3HT). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2014. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Today's modelled estimate of £434,000 sits 63.8% above the 2015 sale of £265,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused.
