About 2 The Three Blackbirds
2 The Three Blackbirds is a mid-terrace house in Ely (CB7 4BD). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 981 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £314,000 sits 57% above the 2009 sale of £200,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£204/sq ft) was about 15.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 5 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 91 m² it's 27.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (71 m² median across 8 EPCs).
