Overview

About 1 Prospect Row

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

1 Prospect Row is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB1 1DU). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1335 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a basement. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (June 2022) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.

Held since August 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 124 m² the property is well over the postcode median (91 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1997–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £861,000 sits 106.5% above the 2010 sale of £417,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£312/sq ft) was about 38.6% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2010. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.
