Overview

About 42 Mill Road

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

42 Mill Road is an end-of-terrace house in Cambridge (CB1 2AD). It has a recorded floor area of 171 m² (around 1841 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (November 2017) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in August 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since.

At 171 m² the property is well over the postcode median (37 m² across 51 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £720,000 sits 3900% above the 2018 sale of £18,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£10/sq ft) was about 97.8% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in June 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years.
