Overview

About 154a

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

154a is a five-bedroom detached house in Histon, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB24 9ET). It has a recorded floor area of 188 m² (around 2024 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 188 m² the property is well over the postcode median (139 m² across 48 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2003–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £963,000 is 33.7% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£356/sq ft) was about 50.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in May 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
