About 53 Mowbray Road

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

53 Mowbray Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB1 7SR). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since January 2015. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78).
