9 Church Farm Lane is a five-bedroom detached house in Steeple Morden, Royston, Royston (SG8 0NL). It has a recorded floor area of 211 m² (around 2271 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band G. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (August 2024) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. Main heating runs on oil.
It hasn't traded since August 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 £844,000 sits 62.3% above the 2009 sale of £520,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£229/sq ft) was about 18.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 71% of similar EPCs).
