Overview

About 17 Hillside

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

17 Hillside is a four-bedroom detached house in Sawston, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB22 3BL). It has a recorded floor area of 135 m² (around 1453 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2016) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump.
