Overview

About 6 Birdwood Road

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

6 Birdwood Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB1 3SU). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Today's modelled estimate of £573,000 sits 57% above the 2013 sale of £365,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£424/sq ft) was about 43.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 80 m² it's 21.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (102 m² median across 24 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). On the market in November 2013 and unlisted since — roughly 13 years.
