About 32 Rock Road

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

32 Rock Road is a mid-terrace house in Cambridge (CB1 7UF). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2012-2021 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2025) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in April 2014 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. At 56 m² this is the 6th smallest of 29 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 45–207 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 29 units on file.

It hasn't traded since September 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1996–1999, sale prices on this property compounded at 26.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £806,000 sits 222.4% above the 1999 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£415/sq ft) was about 37.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 56 m² it sits well below the postcode median (134 m² across 28 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
