About 21 St Philips Road
21 St Philips Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Cambridge (CB1 3AQ). It has a recorded floor area of 147 m² (around 1582 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows an F (score 21), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since June 2013. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while main heating dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.
