Overview

About 24 Rock Road

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

24 Rock Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB1 7UF). It has a recorded floor area of 134 m² (around 1442 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in March 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works, an extension, a conservatory and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
