About 17 Petworth Street
17 Petworth Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB1 2LY). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a corner plot.
It hasn't traded since February 1996, a hold of 31 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. Today's modelled estimate of £439,000 sits 509.7% above the 1996 sale of £72,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£110/sq ft) was about 69.2% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2025.
