About 8 Courtyards

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

8 Courtyards is a four-bedroom detached house in Little Shelford, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB22 5ER). It has a recorded floor area of 143 m² (around 1539 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (February 2021) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump.
