About 16 Coldhams Grove

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

16 Coldhams Grove is a semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB1 3HW). It has a recorded floor area of 40 m² (around 431 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. At 40 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 14 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 39–240 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76).
