10 Abbotts Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Litlington, Royston, Royston (SG8 0QQ). It has a recorded floor area of 143 m² (around 1539 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (April 2024) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
It hasn't traded since December 2007, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £629,000 sits 57.3% above the 2007 sale of £400,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£260/sq ft) was about 21% below the postcode norm.
