Overview

About 2 Gunhild Close

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

2 Gunhild Close is a semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB1 8RD). It has a recorded floor area of 149 m² (around 1604 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2012. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 149 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £559,000 sits 964.8% above the 2000 sale of £52,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£33/sq ft) was about 88.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2005. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
