Overview

About 1 Argyle Street

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

1 Argyle Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Cambridge (CB1 3LR). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in August 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Today's modelled estimate of £451,000 is 17.1% above the 2023 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£559/sq ft) was about 118.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 64 m² it's 17.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (78 m² median across 49 EPCs). Most recent transfer: October 2023 at £385,000.
