About 68 Cambridge Road
68 Cambridge Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Great Shelford, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB22 5JS). It has a recorded floor area of 241 m² (around 2594 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2012) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in October 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). The latest certificate is from October 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
At 241 m² the property is well over the postcode median (117 m² across 28 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 71% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £852,000 sits 127.2% above the 2011 sale of £375,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£145/sq ft) was about 53.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in September 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.
