Overview

About 4 John Street

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

4 John Street is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB1 1DT). It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1399 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs).
