Overview

About 5 Farm Close

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

5 Farm Close is a semi-detached house in Boxworth, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB23 4NB). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2019) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (August 2009); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 100), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in October 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £300,000 sits 89.9% above the 2009 sale of £158,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£153/sq ft) was about 19.8% below the postcode norm.
