About 21 High Street
21 High Street is a mid-terrace house in Cottenham, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB24 8SA). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since April 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £376,000 sits 111.2% above the 2009 sale of £178,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£150/sq ft) was about 35.6% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2024.
