Overview

About Great Common Farm

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Great Common Farm is a detached house in Bourn, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB23 2TE). It has a recorded floor area of 226 m² (around 2433 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2021) shows a G (score 20), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it F (July 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.

Today's modelled estimate of £657,000 is 47.4% below the 2022 sale of £1,250,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£514/sq ft) was about 117.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 226 m² the property is well over the postcode median (104 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 7 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Last sale on file: £1,250,000 in September 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
