About The Manse
The Manse is a four-bedroom detached house in Soham, Ely, Ely (CB7 5BL). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1035 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1976-1982. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 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. Today's modelled estimate of £323,000 sits 95.8% above the 2009 sale of £165,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£159/sq ft) was about 24.6% below the postcode norm.
