Overview

About Rose Cottage

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

Rose Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Fen Ditton, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB5 8TE). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 521 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2009) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (September 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from November 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views.

Held since June 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 48 m² it sits well below the postcode median (103 m² across 36 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £475,000 is 46.2% above the 2010 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£623/sq ft) was about 106.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Rose Cottage is modelled from its 48 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB5 8TE. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Rose Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Rose Cottage was lodged in November 2009 at band C and expired in November 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Rose Cottage. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 7 schools and 2 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CB5 8TE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Rose Cottage is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
