About 55 Gwydir Street
55 Gwydir Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB1 2LG). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2010 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
