5 Boot Lane, Barrington, Cambridge, CB22 7RA

5 Boot Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Barrington, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB22 7RA). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since January 2001, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £433,000 sits 477.3% above the 2001 sale of £75,000.
