153 Caxton End is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Bourn, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB23 2ST). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (August 2012) shows an F (score 25), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (April 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 51). Main heating runs on wood logs. The latest certificate is from August 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since September 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £305,000 sits 69.4% above the 2009 sale of £180,000. At 69 m² it sits well below the postcode median (145 m² across 12 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
