4 Silver Street is a three-bedroom detached house in Litlington, Royston, Royston (SG8 0QE). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £513,000 sits 53.1% above the 2015 sale of £335,000. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 115 m² it's 23% larger than the typical home in the postcode (94 m² median across 8 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Last sold in March 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
