Overview

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.
