About 8 Lowbury Crescent
8 Lowbury Crescent is a three-bedroom detached house in Oakington, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB24 3AE). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1031 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2009–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £392,000 sits 66.8% above the 2009 sale of £235,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£228/sq ft) was about 52.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
