Overview

About Cavenlow

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Cavenlow is a detached house in Cavendish, Sudbury, Sudbury (CO10 8AA). It has a recorded floor area of 139 m² (around 1496 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2012) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £433,000 sits 441.2% above the 1997 sale of £80,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£53/sq ft) was about 77.2% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 139 m² it's 18.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (117 m² median across 13 EPCs).
