21 Ash Grove is a detached house in Melbourn, Royston, Royston (SG8 6BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £386,000 sits 57.6% above the 2013 sale of £245,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in March 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
