Overview

About 16 Arcadia Gardens

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

16 Arcadia Gardens is a four-bedroom detached house in Oakington, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB24 3AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1227 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 99), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 114 m² the property is well over the postcode median (86 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 73% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in February 2016. Across 2001–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £510,000 is 30.8% above the 2016 sale price.
