About 17 Chestnut Drive
17 Chestnut Drive is a semi-detached house in Soham, Ely, Ely (CB7 5FW). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 747 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since July 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. At 69 m² the property is well over the postcode median (53 m² across 40 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £241,000 sits 67.4% above the 2009 sale of £144,000.
