56 Clear Crescent is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Melbourn, Royston, Royston (SG8 6JD). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 93 m² the property is well over the postcode median (60 m² across 40 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£397/sq ft) was about 48.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: May 2022 at £397,500. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
