About 31 Bourn Road
31 Bourn Road is a five-bedroom detached house in Caxton, Cambridge, Cambridge (CB23 3PP). It has a recorded floor area of 141 m² (around 1518 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in August 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has an EV charger on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include notable views. The home occupies a corner plot.
Today's modelled estimate of £632,000 sits 66.3% above the 2013 sale of £380,000. At 141 m² it sits well below the postcode median (247 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 7 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in October 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
