5a is an end-of-terrace house in Bassingbourn, Royston, Royston (SG8 5PS). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1037 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since May 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 £321,000 sits 66.3% above the 2009 sale of £193,000. At 96 m² it's 16.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (83 m² median across 28 EPCs).
