12 Augustus Close is a two-bedroom detached house in Cambridge (CB4 2UD). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 508 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2009) returns a B (score 82), comfortably above the UK average. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On EPC score it ranks first in the building (82 versus a worst of 45).
Held since May 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.
