16 Chalk Grove, Cambridge, CB1 8NT

16 Chalk Grove is a semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB1 8NT). It has a recorded floor area of 167 m² (around 1798 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 167 m² the property is well over the postcode median (124 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £740,000 sits 169.1% above the 2008 sale of £275,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£153/sq ft) was about 49.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
