About Tiptofts House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Tiptofts House is a five-bedroom detached house in Harston, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB22 7NY). It has a recorded floor area of 246 m² (around 2648 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in April 2013 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while main heating dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 87). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record.
At 246 m² the property is well over the postcode median (117 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). 7 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in May 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. Across 1998–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,290,000 is 12.2% above the 2017 sale price.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Tiptofts House is modelled from its 246 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CB22 7NY. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for Tiptofts House. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Tiptofts House was lodged in May 2016 at band C and expired in May 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 7 applications are matched to Tiptofts House. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 5 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from CB22 7NY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Tiptofts House is in council tax band G. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
