About 3 Vicarage Close
3 Vicarage Close is a detached house in Oakington, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB24 3AN). It has a recorded floor area of 154 m² (around 1658 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 56). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since April 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 154 m² the property is well over the postcode median (93 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £486,000 is 41.9% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£207/sq ft) was about 16.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2021.
