About 1 Back Lane
1 Back Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in Barrington, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB22 7RF). It has a recorded floor area of 157 m² (around 1692 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (April 2011) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory, a self-contained annexe and outbuildings. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Untraded for 24 years, with the last transfer in June 2002. Today's modelled estimate of £697,000 sits 236.7% above the 2002 sale of £207,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£122/sq ft) was about 50.1% below the postcode norm. At 157 m² it sits well below the postcode median (313 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2024. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
