About 5 Cow Lane

5 Cow Lane is a three-bedroom detached house in Rampton, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB24 8QG). It has a recorded floor area of 190 m² (around 2045 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2018) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in October 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since.

At 190 m² the property is well over the postcode median (108 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1997–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £579,000 sits 78.7% above the 2014 sale of £324,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£158/sq ft) was about 41.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015.
