About 39 Birdwood Road

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

39 Birdwood Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB1 3ST). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (June 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor.
