About 40 Sturgeons Way
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
40 Sturgeons Way is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Hitchin (SG4 0BN). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2021) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since February 2010. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
It hasn't traded since January 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 £217,000 sits 106.7% above the 2009 sale of £105,000. At 53 m² it's 18.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (65 m² median across 26 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2024.
