24 Kestrel Close, Cottenham, Cambridge, CB24 8AN

24 Kestrel Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Cottenham, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB24 8AN). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1079 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2011) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from June 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Held since November 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 100 m² the property is well over the postcode median (70 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £403,000 sits 240.1% above the 1998 sale of £118,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£110/sq ft) was about 42% below the postcode norm.
