Overview

About 1a

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

1a is a detached house in Histon, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB24 9ES). It has a recorded floor area of 211 m² (around 2271 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 211 m² the property is well over the postcode median (105 m² across 43 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). 4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £1,225,000 is 33.9% above the 2013 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£403/sq ft) was about 58.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in October 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
