About 5 Pipers Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Pipers Close is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Fowlmere, Royston, Royston (SG8 7RX). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1292 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since February 2012. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while main heating dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
At 120 m² the property is well over the postcode median (77 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £489,000 sits 56.7% above the 2016 sale of £312,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£242/sq ft) was about 27.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in April 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
