42 The Causeway is a three-bedroom detached house in Bassingbourn, Royston, Royston (SG8 5LG). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2020) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
It hasn't traded since September 2007, a hold of 19 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 £516,000 sits 79.8% above the 2007 sale of £287,000. At 104 m² it's 15.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (90 m² median across 11 EPCs).
