Overview

About 8 Arber Close

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

8 Arber Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bottisham, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB25 9DR). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 94 m² the property is well over the postcode median (64 m² across 22 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). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £369,000 is 47.6% above the 2013 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£247/sq ft) was about 33.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in September 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
