26 Bailey House is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Cambridge (CB1 3PG). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. At 54 m² this is the 46th smallest of 86 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 46–88 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (July 2022) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (June 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since June 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £282,000 is 41% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£344/sq ft) was about 15.9% below the postcode norm.
