Overview

About 8 Coldhams Grove

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

8 Coldhams Grove is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Cambridge (CB1 3HW). It has a recorded floor area of 240 m² (around 2583 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2020) shows a C (score 74). The home occupies a corner plot.

It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 240 m² the property is well over the postcode median (65 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 85% of similar EPCs). Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 37.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £703,000 sits 199.1% above the 2007 sale of £235,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£91/sq ft) was about 56.9% below the postcode norm. 6 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, HMO conversion, a porch and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
