About 1 Earl Street
1 Earl Street is an end-of-terrace house in Cambridge (CB1 1JR). It has a recorded floor area of 157 m² (around 1690 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (April 2021) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since June 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 157 m² the property is well over the postcode median (120 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £971,000 sits 579% above the 1996 sale of £143,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£85/sq ft) was about 77.8% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2020.
