Overview

About 42 London Road

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

42 London Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Harston, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB22 7QH). It has a recorded floor area of 172 m² (around 1851 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.
