About 53 Cromwell Road
53 Cromwell Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB1 3EB). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since May 2016. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility.
