Overview

About 5 Chalk Grove

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

5 Chalk Grove is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB1 8NT). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1359 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2012) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). The latest certificate is from February 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £716,000 sits 61.8% above the 2012 sale of £442,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£326/sq ft) was about 30.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Last sold in July 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
