About 21 Earl Street
21 Earl Street is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB1 1JR). It has a recorded floor area of 161 m² (around 1733 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80).
