Overview

About 2 Cootes Lane

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

2 Cootes Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Fen Drayton, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB24 4SL). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 746 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

It hasn't traded since June 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. Today's modelled estimate of £297,000 sits 73.2% above the 2009 sale of £171,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£230/sq ft) was about 23.2% below the postcode norm. At 69 m² it sits well below the postcode median (131 m² across 17 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
