12 Park View is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bassingbourn, Royston, Royston (SG8 5PS). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2022) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since December 2008.

It hasn't traded since January 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 £392,000 sits 102.1% above the 2007 sale of £194,000. At 104 m² it's 26.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (83 m² median across 28 EPCs).
