Overview

About Lavender Cottage

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

Lavender Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Boxworth, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB23 4LY). It has a recorded floor area of 167 m² (around 1798 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1996-2002. The property has solar panels and underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The latest certificate (November 2017) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on oil.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in September 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £636,000 is 46.2% above the 2008 sale price.
