About 16 Bittern Grove
16 Bittern Grove is a two-bedroom detached house in Soham, Ely, Ely (CB7 5FR). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band A. At 55 m² this is the 4th smallest of 26 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 52–217 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (January 2013) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from January 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2007, a hold of 18 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 -32.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £135,000 sits 125% above the 2007 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£101/sq ft) was about 53.4% below the postcode norm. At 55 m² it sits well below the postcode median (93 m² across 25 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
