About 8 Hardy Close
8 Hardy Close is a five-bedroom detached house in Longstanton, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB24 3GU). It has a recorded floor area of 196 m² (around 2110 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in May 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 196 m² the property is well over the postcode median (128 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £570,000 is 46.2% above the 2007 sale price.
