38a, London Road, Sawston, Cambridge, CB22 3XE

38a is a three-bedroom detached house in Sawston, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB22 3XE). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 89). The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 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. Today's modelled estimate of £541,000 sits 116.4% above the 2007 sale of £250,000. At 113 m² it's 22.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (92 m² median across 27 EPCs). One planning record on file: partial demolition refused in 2008.
