4 Brooke Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Royston (SG8 7DR). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
At 116 m² the property is well over the postcode median (86 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £485,000 is 18.3% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£328/sq ft) was about 40.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in May 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2003.
