About Bankside Farm
Bankside Farm is a three-bedroom detached house in Prickwillow, Ely, Ely (CB7 4UR). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2017) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 102), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. Other recorded features include notable views and a conservatory. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
It hasn't traded since August 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2006–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £259,000 sits 204.7% above the 2007 sale of £85,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£88/sq ft) was about 23.2% below the postcode norm.
