About 5 Sanderling Drive
5 Sanderling Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in St. Mellons, Cardiff, Cardiff (CF3 0DA). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The latest certificate (November 2012) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from November 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 116 m² it's 20.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (96 m² median across 13 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £383,000 is 37.8% above the 2022 sale price.
