Overview

About 57 High Street

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

57 High Street is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Little Shelford, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB22 5ES). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2022) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in January 2011 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£567/sq ft) was about 65.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: November 2022 at £720,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
