Overview

About 29 Ashmead Drive

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

29 Ashmead Drive is a semi-detached house in Hardwick, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB23 7XT). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (November 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Most recent transfer: November 2021 at £462,500. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One planning record on file: an annexe approved in 2011. Past consents include an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2002–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.8% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£448/sq ft) was about 90.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
