1 Edieham Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Shepreth, Royston, Royston (SG8 6QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 147 m² (around 1582 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (November 2022) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band.
It hasn't traded since May 2008, a hold of 18 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 £630,000 sits 119.5% above the 2008 sale of £287,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£181/sq ft) was about 38.1% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 147 m² it's 21.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (187 m² median across 13 EPCs).
