About 2 Ryecroft Lane

2 Ryecroft Lane is a three-bedroom detached house in Fowlmere, Royston, Royston (SG8 7TT). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1227 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2020) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on oil. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
It hasn't traded since March 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £439,000 sits 119.5% above the 2009 sale of £200,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£163/sq ft) was about 41.1% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 114 m² it's 16.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (98 m² median across 16 EPCs).
