Overview

About 71 Godwin Way

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

71 Godwin Way is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB1 8QW). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1324 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.

At 123 m² the property is well over the postcode median (77 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.5% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£411/sq ft) was about 43.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: March 2021 at £544,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
