About 4 High Street
4 High Street is a semi-detached house in Little Shelford, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB22 5ES). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1061 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Very Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since April 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £548,000 sits 79.7% above the 2009 sale of £305,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£287/sq ft) was about 18.5% below the postcode norm. At 99 m² it sits well below the postcode median (170 m² across 40 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 5 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a porch and tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
