About 43 Walpole Road

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

43 Walpole Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB1 3TH). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2021) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump.
