Overview

About 7 Birch Trees Road

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

7 Birch Trees Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Great Shelford, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB22 5AW). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1168 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2011) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since January 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good.

Across 2001–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £543,000 sits 69.7% above the 2012 sale of £320,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£274/sq ft) was about 16.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in March 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
