Overview

About 79 Babraham Road

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

79 Babraham Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Sawston, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB22 3DD). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
