6 Abbey Gardens, Ditton Walk, Cambridge, CB5 8EH

6 Abbey Gardens is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB5 8EH). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 858 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2012) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. The rating has held steady at B across 2 certificates since November 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The latest certificate is from February 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.

It hasn't traded since July 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. At 80 m² it sits well below the postcode median (120 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £488,000 is 47.9% above the 2010 sale price.
