About Gateway
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Gateway is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Great Shelford, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB22 5JU). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. At 68 m² this is the 11th smallest of 12 units on EPC record in Gateway, where floor areas span 54–68 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since February 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 68 m² it sits well below the postcode median (105 m² across 47 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £294,000 is 40% above the 2006 sale price.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Gateway is modelled from its 68 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CB22 5JU. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Gateway. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Gateway was lodged in March 2015 at band C and expired in March 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Gateway. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 11 schools and 1 stop listed are measured in a straight line from CB22 5JU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Gateway is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
