Overview

About 2 Bosworth Road

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

2 Bosworth Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Cambridge (CB1 8RG). It has a recorded floor area of 121 m² (around 1302 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 29 years, with the last transfer in May 1997. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 121 m² the property is well over the postcode median (72 m² across 42 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £684,000 sits 291% above the 1997 sale of £174,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£134/sq ft) was about 40.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2022. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
