About 1 Gwydir Street

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

1 Gwydir Street is a semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB1 2LG). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1227 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band F.

At 114 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 54 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 72% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £711,000 sits 1931.4% above the 1995 sale of £35,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£29/sq ft) was about 91.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
