About 12 Clare Close
12 Clare Close is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Waterbeach, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB25 9PS). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1341 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows a C (score 71).

Held since August 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 125 m² the property is well over the postcode median (70 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £393,000 sits 90.8% above the 2009 sale of £206,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£154/sq ft) was about 33.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2025. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
