Overview

About 23a

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

23a is a four-bedroom detached house in Longstanton, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB24 3BX). It has a recorded floor area of 202 m² (around 2174 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since January 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 202 m² the property is well over the postcode median (152 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £633,000 sits 89% above the 2008 sale of £335,000. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2017. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
