About 1a

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

1a is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB1 1DU). It has a recorded floor area of 259 m² (around 2788 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump.
