About 5 Cambridge Road
5 Cambridge Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Oakington, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB24 3BG). It has a recorded floor area of 145 m² (around 1561 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (September 2022) shows a C (score 73). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82).
Held since August 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. At 145 m² the property is well over the postcode median (92 m² across 33 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £520,000 sits 141.9% above the 2009 sale of £215,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£138/sq ft) was about 36.1% below the postcode norm.
